Bell, DVM, DACVO This lecture will focus on diagnosis, classification, treatment, and prognosis of corneal ulcers in horses. We will distinguish between simple and complicated ulcers. Techniques for obtaining appropriate corneal samples for culture and cytology will be discussed. Placement of subpalpebral lavage (SPL) will be reviewed. 9:00AM–10:00AM 1 CEU Elm Fork Session 311: Equine Ocular Emergencies: Now What? — with Stephanie C. Bell, DVM, DACVO This lecture will focus on triage, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of common ocular emergencies. Trauma—periocular, eyelid, and corneal—will be discussed. We will review evaluation and treatment of corneal foreign bodies. Acute serve uveitis flares will also be explored. Standing enucleation in the horse will be covered. 10:00AM–10:30AM LONG BREAK IN THE TRADESHOW AREA 10:30AM–11:30AM 1 CEU Elm Fork Session 312: Exc-eye-ting Innovations in Equine Ophthalmology — with Stephanie C. Bell, DVM, DACVO This lecture will focus on newer therapies which have become available for common ophthalmic diseases. Specific therapies to explore will include: corneal collagen cross-linking for keratomalacia, laser photodynamic therapy for periocular neoplasia and immune-mediated keratitis (IMMK), and low dose intravitreal gentamicin injections for Equine Recurrent Uveitis (ERU). WET LAB LOCATION LAB TITLE/SUMMARY Session 313: 1:30PM–3:30PM 2 CEU Will Rogers Cattle Barn 2 and Adjacent Arena Diving Deeper into Ophthalmic Evaluation: Fundic Examinations, Intraocular Pressure Measurements, and Ocular Ultrasound Exams on Live Horses — with Stephanie C. Bell, DVM, DACVO This lab will allow attendees to practice fundic exams using indirect ophthalmoscopy with close instruction. Participants will also perform intraocular pressure measurements as well as ocular ultrasounds. Examples of abnormal ultrasound pictures will be available for comparison to our live horse ultrasounds. Session 314: 4:00PM–6:00PM 2 CEU Will Rogers Cattle Barn 2 and Adjacent Arena Close-Ups with the Cornea: Sampling Techniques for Corneal Culture & Cytology with Cytology Review — with Stephanie C. Bell, DVM, DACVO This lab will enable participants to practice corneal sampling techniques on cadaver globes using a variety of instrumentation including culturette swabs, cytology brushes, cotton tipped applicators, and blade handles. Significant cytology findings will be reviewed. Treatment for indolent sterile ulcers will be demonstrated. Participants will practice corneal debridement and diamond burr keratotomy on these cadaver globes.
