There are three short videos in the series, with the final two videos looking in detail at two of the most common ocular conditions in dogs:
Ocular conditions account for around 1 in 10 canine consultations in first opinion practice1. Early diagnosis and treatment can have a significant impact on prognosis for many of these conditions, so to assist with this, Bayer Animal Health has produced this educational series in partnership with Veterinary Vision.
Chris comments: “This series of videos aims to help vets learn how to perform the fundamental techniques of ophthalmic examination, hopefully enabling them to spot potentially degenerative conditions earlier. The videos have been created in partnership with Bayer as part of their ongoing commitment to training, and aim to help ensure that chronic conditions, such as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), or dry eye, are diagnosed and treated early.”
Chris Dixon is a veterinary ophthalmologist at Veterinary Vision, an ophthalmology referral practice in Cumbria. Chris graduated from the University of Bristol and spent several years in mixed practice, before deciding to focus on ophthalmology; he was awarded a certificate in ophthalmology in 2011. Chris has a particular interest in ocular micro-surgery and topographical analysis of the cornea.
