The Definitive Surgical Atlas for Veterinary Ophthalmic Practice

From a prolapsed nictitans gland in a Bulldog puppy to a pars plana vitrectomy in a horse with equine recurrent uveitis — veterinary ophthalmic surgery demands precision, anatomical fluency, and intraoperative judgment that no other surgical discipline requires. Atlas of Veterinary Ophthalmic Surgery was built to meet that demand.

This comprehensive operative reference delivers evidence-based surgical technique, species-specific anatomical guidance, and practical clinical decision-making across the full scope of veterinary ophthalmic surgery — from eyelid procedures to complex intraocular and orbital reconstruction.

• Step-by-step operative technique with instrument selection, intraoperative decision points, complication recognition, and postoperative management for every major procedure
• Equine ophthalmology in depth — standing sedation, subpalpebral lavage placement, pars plana vitrectomy for ERU, and cyclosporine implant technique

Chapters stand alone. Reach for exactly what you need before your next case.

If You Operate on Eyes — This Belongs in Your Library

The difference between a successful phacoemulsification and a failed one, between a graft that vascularizes and one that does not, between endophthalmitis caught at day two and day seven — these differences are made in the preparation. Add it to your cart. Open it before your next case. Your patients will notice the difference.
