Approach to problematic corneal ulcers

To the practitioner there are two types of corneal ulcer - the uncomplicated and the complicated. Recognising negative healing factors and developing a logical approach to managing corneal ulcers will accelerate healing times, reduce visual impairment and increase client satisfaction. The aim of this talk is to simplify how we view corneal ulcers and to develop patient specific 'road maps' to ensure that we achieve the best clinical outcomes possible.

Issues with eyelids

Diseases affecting the eyelids are frequently encountered in small animal practice, affecting both dogs and cats. We will briefly consider the anatomy and function of the eyelids before looking in more detail at medical and surgical conditions. With the former it is important to remember that eyelid disease can sometimes be part of a generalised condition – such as atopy, or can be secondary to another eye disease – blepharitis as an extension from a bacterial conjunctivitis for example. Conditions such as entropion and ectropion might require surgical correction and we will see examples of these with tips for how to achieve the best outcome for the patient – the aim is always to restore normal function with minimal scarring. A correct diagnosis and meticulous attention to detail is required to attain this. Other common conditions such as eyelid tumours and distichiasis will be mentioned, and we will finish up with a few complications - and how to avoid them!
