Dr Guy Clare MA BVSc CertVOphthal

Dr Guy Clare graduated in December 1994 from the University of Liverpool. Following graduation he moved straight into small animal practice. 5 years later, together with his wife, they bought a first opinion practice in Bolton. He pursued an interest in ophthalmology gaining the RCVS Certificate in 2004. He ran a private referral practice in the UK and was the visiting ophthalmologist to Liverpool University where he had responsibility for teaching ophthalmology to clinical undergraduates. He has been in Australia since January 2009, working solely in small animal ophthalmology out of North Coast Veterinary Specialists, Queensland. Guy has delivered talks throughout his State and the UK and strives to bring a novel, memory-stimulating and informative approach to what is the most fascinating of veterinary disciplines.

A self-confessed perfectionist-obsessive his poor wife and children indulge and take part in his passion for sport, where he holds coaching qualifications in: rugby union, triathlon, weight lifting, horse riding and surf lifesaving. With respect to the latter Guy has been learning to ride a racing mal knee board (Bondi Rescue style). This he says has been a very sobering experience, but on the positive he won’t need to see an ENT specialist to have his sinuses flushed, as this regularly happens each time he goes out in the surf! If at first you don’t succeed…

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!

This dog has glaucoma – what do I need to know and do?

In this webinar we will discuss canine glaucoma – discovering that it is not a simple disease but a complex problem with many potential causes which will have an impact on our approach to treatment. So, we will look at examples of acute and chronic glaucoma in the dog and reflect on the primary and secondary aetiologies before considering how best to approach management. An understanding of the mechanisms for the production, flow and drainage of aqueous from the eye is necessary to fully appreciate these different types of glaucoma. Illustrations of the different clinical presentations will be included together with mention of the breed predispositions to glaucoma which we encounter. We will concentrate on medical management and how to assess response to treatment but will briefly mention the surgical options available. By the end of the webinar you should be more confident in diagnosing the condition and understand what you need to do for the patient.
