82 Equine ophthalmic examination

In the studio though without Brian’s help, which was needed as the we had a rookie error where we lost power. Joined by Roser Tetas one of our fabulous lecturers in veterinary ophthalmology here at the RVC. We talk about the differences and an overview of how to perform an ophthalmic exam in a horse in this pod. We started off saying it is the same, however there are a few subtleties compared to the smaller species that we treat. If you would like to hear more about ophthalmic examination then have a listen to pod 42 https://www.rvc.ac.uk/small-animal-referrals/news-events/clinical-podcasts/42-ophthalmological-examination

There are some ophthalmology courses run through the RVC CPD (other course providers are available, though not sure that they would all be given a 5-star rating!)
