An Atlas of Small Animal Ocular Surgery offers a comprehensive overview of the fundamental techniques used in veterinary ophthalmic surgery of small animals. Beginning with a chapter on surgical principles, covering the most important aspects of ophthalmic surgery and microsurgery with which every ophthalmic surgeon should be familiar, an anesthesia and analgesia chapter then covers essential and practical tips with regards to small animal ophthalmology patients. The most relevant surgical techniques are included in each of the seven chapters that follow; eyelid, third eyelid, nasolacrimal duct, cornea, lens, glaucoma, orbital surgeries and the use of ophthalmic lasers outside of glaucoma surgery.
Carefully crafted macro images of cadaver and patient eyes guide the reader in an intimate step-by-step approach to each of the techniques.
Succinct practical descriptions accompany the images.
Practical introductions with indications for each technique, comments on patient preparation and aftercare and a brief reading list of the most relevant material are offered in each section.
Comments on how to deal with complications and, most importantly, how to avoid them, are also included.
Novel techniques in the field of veterinary ophthalmology are introduced, such as techniques to bury corneal suture knots to avoid corneal pain associated with their presence, the versatile 'locking bite' which can be used during corneo-limbo-conjunctival transposition (CLCT) procedures, and the 'capsular expansion technique' for liquified lenses to help the surgeon avoid inadvertently piercing the posterior capsule.
Providing a reliable teaching tool for veterinary ophthalmology residents and interns, this concise atlas will also serve general practice veterinarians with an interest in ophthalmology and simply need an in-depth, user-friendly reference. The step-by-step images support visual learners, the accompanying text supports verbal leaners, and the recommended references encourage life-long learning.

He obtained a Bachelor's degree in Biology in St. Thomas Aquinas College, in New York in 1994 and a DVM after attending Ross and Louisiana State Universities in 1999. He commenced his specialty training in the US and later moved to the EU where he attended the Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB) to obtain his European veterinary qualification in 2002. Since, Rick obtained his RCVS certificate in ophthalmology (UK) and completed his residency training at the University of Glasgow and the Eye Veterinary Clinic, in Herefordshire, England, after which he obtained his DipECVO in 2007. Then, he headed the ophthalmology service in a private practice in England from 2006 until 2011. That same year he joined the Royal Veterinary College of the University of London as a Lecturer to re-launch and lead the new Ophthalmology Service at the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals (QMHA).
David graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1992 and, after a period in general practice, completed a PhD at the University of Cambridge in the molecular genetics of inherited eye diseases of dogs. Following this he moved to the University of Bristol for a three year clinical residency in veterinary ophthalmology. After this he was appointed Lecturer in Veterinary Ophthalmology at Bristol University Veterinary School, a post that he held for three years before joining Davies Veterinary Specialists in October 2003 to jointly run their ophthalmology service.
