336: Vet Watch: Real-world ophthalmology
In this episode of Vet Watch, we dive into the essentials of veterinary ophthalmology with Jennifer Sheahan, DVM, DACVO and Christopher Lee, DVM, MPH, DACVPM. The pair discusses tonometry—what it is and why it’s important—along with practical tips and tricks for accurately measuring eye pressure. You’ll also learn expert techniques for using fluorescein stain, and get clear guidance on when and how to perform direct versus indirect retinal exams as a GP or ER vet.
The discussion also goes in depth on the management of both primary and secondary glaucoma, with the goal of providing the knowledge and confidence necessary to handle these cases in practice.
