Lecture Titles/Summaries: “Are you frustrated, having a meltdown, or both? Help with Corneal Ulcers”
1) Those repetitive, repeating, recurrent, (really annoying) corneal ulcers – need some help?
Corneal ulcers are a common ophthalmic condition presenting to the small animal practitioner. In this two part lecture series, we will first discuss management of indolent erosions (or Spontaneous Chronic Corneal Epithelial Defects, SCCED) and easy to perform therapies that the small animal practitioner can perform to improve healing outcomes.
2) What to do When Corneal Ulcers Get Complicated
Corneal may be classified as “simple and uncomplicated” or “complicated/emergent”. In this lecture, we will discuss management of severe/complicated corneal ulcers that are considered emergent. These ulcers typically present due to significant ocular discomfort, loss of vision, and/or compromised globe integrity. Prompt intervention and proper treatment are essential to preserve vision and restore ocular comfort. This lecture (part 2 of the evening’s series) will discuss appropriate diagnosis and treatment strategies for complicated ulcers.
