The treatment and diagnosis of conditions affecting the equine eye will be the topic of the AAEP’s debut fall meeting, Focus on Ophthalmology, Oct. 1-3 in Raleigh, N.C.

Ocular trauma, infection, and disease can lead to some of the most expensive and devastating conditions in horses. Equine veterinarians treating sport, work or show horses must be well-versed in the diagnosis and field treatment of eye conditions to ensure the safety and athletic potential of horses under their care.

Focus on Ophthalmology, to be held at the Marriott Crabtree Valley Hotel, will offer two days of in-depth sessions led by equine ophthalmologists Brian Gilger, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVO, and Dennis E. Brooks, DVM, Dipl. ACVO, PhD, and equine practitioner Ann Dwyer, DVM.

Attendees will practice cutting-edge treatment techniques during one day of rotating wet labs at the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine
