The eye is an innocent bystander, Ocular manifestations of systemic diseases

Description:

The eye is an innocent bystander. Ocular manifestations of systemic diseases

Numerous systemic diseases have ocular manifestations. Indeed frequently the patient will present with an ophthalmic complaint, but in fact it is just another clinical sign of a systemic disease. Cataracts in diabetic dogs and retinal detachment in elderly, hypertensive cats are just two leading examples. In this talk we shall review the ophthalmic manifestations of various infectious, endocrinological and metabolic diseases. Correct diagnosis of the ocular signs may help you identify grave systemic diseases!

The Webinar is presented in English

Target Group:

For veterinarians looking to expand their knowledge of ocular manifestations of systemic diseases. It provides a review of key ocular pathognomonic signs associated with various systemic conditions. The content is particularly beneficial for those seeking to enhance their diagnostic skills in recognizing how systemic diseases can affect the eyes and in identifying underlying, potentially serious health issues.

Seminar Objective:

The goal of this webinar is to help veterinarians recognize the ocular manifestations of systemic diseases. Participants will gain an understanding of how various infectious, endocrinological, and metabolic conditions can present with eye-related symptoms. By learning to identify these signs, attendees will be better equipped to diagnose underlying systemic diseases, potentially leading to earlier and more accurate interventions.
