Aim of this blinded, prospective, randomized clinical study was to compare three different lubricant eye drops (LED) in healthy adult dogs undergoing general anaesthesia (GA) for non-ophthalmic surgery. Tear production rate was monitored by means of Schirmer tear test-1 (STT-1), and incidence of...

Eyelid surgery plays an important role in the management of a variety of ophthalmic diseases. Surgery on the adnexa and eye is routinely performed on an anesthetized patient. Minor procedures, such as conjunctival biopsy, may be performed in an awake patient using only topical anesthesia....

This article will discuss anaesthesia and nursing care of canine and feline ophthalmic patients. The article will be divided into two parts. This part will concentrate on the ocular care of patients undergoing sedation and anaesthesia, prevention of corneal ulcerations and ocular lubrication, and ...

The influence of an anaesthetic protocol, which included medetomidine, propofol, carprofen and halothane on tear production in the dog. There are no previous studies on the effects of this combination on tear production in dogs or in any other species. The present study included 39 dogs, which...

This book focuses on the developments in veterinary ophthalmology.
