Ophthalmology is one of those subjects you can’t learn at university or from a book. You really need to see cases in order to work out what is happening in those eyes. The aim of this course is to help practicing vets handle those eye cases with confidence. The emphasis is on presenting symptoms, so the course is presented in modules, each dealing with a presenting complaint.

Whether you are in general, equine, large or small animal practice, ophthalmology is a common and constant part of your daily work.

Tutor

The tutor for this program is Robin Stanley.
