Description
Corneal ulceration is a commonly encountered issue. Accurate diagnosis of the nature of ulceration is important for effective treatment planning, and this can be done to a high level in general practice. This talk will review the diagnostic approach to best characterise the type of ulceration. We will discuss how to identify a complex/infected/melting corneal ulcer and what treatment plans are appropriate for the different lesions. We will also cover some specific types of ulceration like superficial non-healing lesions, corneal sequestra in cats and keratomycosis in horses. Hopefully you will leave this talk better equipped to managed corneal ulceration in your practice.Speaker
