The first section on basic sciences and examination is devoted to embryology and anatomy, physiology, clinical pharmacology, and ophthalmic examination and diagnostic procedures. Section two is dedicated to the range of canine ophthalmology, with chapters on the orbit, eyelids, lacrimal and nasolacrimal systems, nictitating membrane and conjunctiva, cornea, anterior uvea, the glaucomas, lens and the posterior segment.
