12 CE hours

May 31 - June 1, 2025

Eye cases can be some of the most challenging—and rewarding—in veterinary practice. This comprehensive ophthalmology CE will sharpen your diagnostic precision, refine treatment strategies, and help you master both small animal and equine ophthalmology. From performing thorough eye exams in any setting to diagnosing and treating conditions like corneal ulcers, lens luxation, and feline ophthalmic diseases, you’ll gain real-world, case-based learning with actionable insights you can apply immediately. With engaging lectures, in-depth procedural videos, and practical field techniques, you’ll build confidence in tackling everything from routine diagnostics to surgical procedures. Don’t let ophthalmology cases intimidate you—expand your skills and take your expertise to the next level!
