About the webinar

Ophthalmic emergencies are commonly seen by the small animal practitioner and include any ophthalmic condition that has rapidly developed or is the result of trauma to the eye and/or periocular structures. With proper treatment, most ophthalmic emergencies can be stabilized until consultation with, or referral to, a veterinary ophthalmologist is possible. The majority of ocular emergencies present due to significant ocular discomfort, loss of vision, or compromised globe integrity. Ocular emergencies can be thought of as having a traumatic ( i.e. globe prolapse, conjunctival/corneal foreign body, corneal chemical burn, corneal wound and/or perforation, iris prolapse, and lens rupture with associated phacoclastic uveitis) or non-traumatic origin (i.e. orbital cellulitis/abscesses, acute keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), corneal ulcers, acute congestive glaucoma, uveitis, anterior lens luxation, retinal detachment, SARD (sudden acquired retinal degeneration), optic neuritis, and endophthalmitis). Prompt intervention and proper treatment are essential to preserve vision and restore ocular comfort. Regardless of the nature of the ocular emergency, a complete ophthalmic examination should be performed to ensure that both the correct diagnosis is reached and that any concurrent ocular disease is recognized and treated appropriately. Join Dr. Giuliano for an interactive discussion of some of the more common ocular emergencies sure to come knocking at your door!
