Seeing more clearly – stress-free ophthalmology

This veterinary ophthalmology workshop is designed to provide veterinarians with comprehensive theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for proper recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of ocular diseases in animals. Through a combination of lectures and practical exercises, participants will master ophthalmic terminology, ocular anatomy and physiology, and key diagnostic procedures such as tonometry, the Schirmer tear test, fluorescein staining, and examination of the nasolacrimal system.
Emphasis is placed on learning both basic and advanced ophthalmoscopy techniques (direct and indirect) and developing the skills required to perform complete examinations. Individualized mentoring ensures confidence and expertise in daily clinical work.
