22 Equine Ophthalmology Studies Available Free Online

 A publication containing 22 recent equine ophthalmology papers from the Equine Veterinary Journal, Equine Veterinary Education, and Veterinary Ophthalmology are now available for free viewing at Wiley Online Library.

Clinical Equine Ophthalmology: The Current State of the Art contains information relevant to all sectors of the veterinary profession from general practitioners and specialists to researchers, surgeons and students, covering common diseases, surgical procedures, and outcomes.

The publication was devised and compiled by a panel of guest editors including:

    Mary Lassaline, DVM, PhD, MA, Dipl. ACVO, a member of the Veterinary Ophthalmology editorial board and a veterinary ophthalmologist in the University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences;
    David A. Wilkie, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVO, editor of Veterinary Ophthalmology and a professor of comparative ophthalmology at The Ohio State University Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences;

     Tim Mair, BVSc, PhD, DEIM, DESTS, Dipl. ECEIM, MRCVS, editor of Equine Veterinary Education and a veterinarian based at Bell Equine Veterinary Clinic in Kent, England; and
    Celia M Marr, BVMS, MVM, PhD, DEIM, Dipl. ECEIM, MRCVS, editor of Equine Veterinary Journal and an internal medicine specialist based at Rossdales Equine Hospital and Diagnostic Centre in Newmarket, England.

“The goal was to provide broad access to the most current information applicable to every stratum of the equine veterinary profession,” said Lassaline. “Subsequently, a salient feature is that many of the papers included are collaborations between veterinary ophthalmologists with a special interest in horses, equine practitioners with a special interest in ophthalmology, private practitioners and those in academia, and academicians from different institutions.”

Subjects covered include new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of ulcerative and non-ulcerative keratitis in the horse; novel approaches to corneal surgery; corneal neoplasia; long-term outcomes following surgical intervention for equine recurrent uveitis, glaucoma, and cataracts; and retinal and orbital disease.

“The key purpose of the Equine Veterinary Journal is to disseminate information to help the enhancement of specialist knowledge at every level of the veterinary profession,” Marr said. “By collating the most important and up-to-date ophthalmology research into one easy resource the new special issue does exactly that.”
