Program Monday 18 June Day 1 9.00 Top 10 Hints for a Complete Ophthalmic Examination It is critical to know how to treat disease. In the absence of a correct diagnosis treatment is often ineffective or worse. This lecture will discuss how to reach a complete and accurate ophthalmic diagnosis by performing a thorough ophthalmic examination using just 4 guidelines, 4 skills and equipment that is almost certainly already in your clinic. 9.45 Making Sense of the Fundic Exam The ocular fundus is challenging to examine and interpret. In this session we will demonstrate 2 novel approaches. Build the fundus and the 5 Fundic questions. The first approach acknowledges that the fundus is a compound structure that can be best understood by constructing it and that fundic exam findings are best interpreted by deconstructing them. The second utilises 5 questions designed to systematically interpret what you are seeing back there. 10.30 MORNING TEA 11.00 Differential Diagnosis All the presenting clinical signs and their possible causes will be covered in this lecture. If you do not know the causes of a red eye, sudden vision loss or a watery eye, then this presentation will assist your ability to diagnose eye conditions. 13.30 General Anaesthesia for the Ocular Patient Leah Bradbury This session will discuss the management of the brachycephalic patient. 14.30 Managing Pre-operative Ocular Pain Leah Bradbury This session will discuss pain assessment and locoregional anaesthesia. 16.00 Case Studies* Day 2 & This session will present case studies and dicuss 9.00 How to Treat the Red Eye Part I Reddened eye is one of the most common reasons for presentation that you see in practice, with conjunctivitis, uveitis and glaucoma being the top 3 differential diagnoses. Each of these has a completely different set of causes, requires markedly different treatment and carries a different prognosis. The good news is that they also have very different signs when you know what to look for. In Part I of this topic, we will discuss the diagnostic approach to the reddened eye and to conjunctivitis in particular. 9.45 How to Treat the Red Eye Part II In Part II of this topic we will discuss the diagnostic approach to uveitis and hyphaema in particular. 10.30 MORNING TEA 11.00 Ocular Manifestations of Systemic Disease Lynelle Johnson 13.30 How to Treat the Blue Eye Part I Tuesday 19 June How do we diagnose glaucoma without a Tono-Pen? Red and blue eye occurs in everything from corneal ulceration to uveitis! In this lecture you will learn how to tell if an eye is in danger of losing vision and how to manage it when the owner does NOT want to refer. We will go through the first aid for glaucoma and long term management of the remaining eye. Tips and tricks for using the Tono-Pen and TonoVet will also be covered.

14.30 How to Treat the Blue Eye Part II Day 3 The Lens Why do Fox Terriers suddenly present with a blue, red and painful eye? Lens luxation! In this presentation the common early signs of lens luxation will be covered. These are present months before the lens luxates anteriorly. What are the common causes of cataracts? What are the latest concepts in cataract surgery? These and other questions will be covered. 16.00 Case Studies* & This session will discuss case studies and dicuss Wednesday 20 June 13.30 Ocular discharge Part II In this session we will discuss the pathogenesis, treatment and prognosis for the different types of canine Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca. We will cover how to approach the diagnosis of and treatments for this complex disease. 14.30 FAQs*, & In this lecture David, Heather and Robin will cover some of the questions that we are commonly asked as eye specialists. We welcome questions that you have always wanted to ask. 16.00 Case Studies* & This session will present case studies and dicuss 9.00 Vision Loss Part I What s the best approach to a small animal patient with vision loss? Is it different for dogs and cats? How can I compare day and night vision? Is the rate of vision loss important? In this 2-part session we will address all of these questions, walk you through a methodical approach to the blind patient and put into practice your fundic exam lecture from the day before. 10.00 Vision Loss Part II 11.00 MORNING TEA 11.30 Ocular discharge Part I In this session we will discuss causes, treatment and prognosis for common cases of ocular discharge. We will cover approaches to determine the causes of ocular discharge as well as what equipment and supplies that you will need in your practice to adequately assess and treat these cases. *Case studies & FAQs The Case Study and FAQ sessions will be structured as interactive lectures where the speakers will present cases that deal with the topics that were covered on that day. We ask you to submit cases from your own practice prior to the conference. Email cases and FAQs to Tiffany Brittain (event coordinator) at tiffany.brittain@sydney.edu.au. Working through these cases will reinforce what you have learnt that day and assist you in your everyday

Program Thursday 21 June Day 4 9.00 How to Treat Non-ulcerative Corneal Disease This lecture will cover some of the common fluorescein-negative (non-ulcerative) corneal diseases seen in small animal and equine 10.00 How to Manage Corneal Ulceration In this session we will discuss the pathogenesis, treatment and prognosis of common ulcerative corneal diseases of our canine, feline, and equine patients. We will cover a logical approach to diagnosis of ulcerative keratitis and the tools necessary to determine treatment strategies as well as how to differentiate between conditions. 11.00 MORNING TEA Small Animal Stream 11.30 Ocular Surgery Part I This lecture will cover the common surgeries that you as general practitioners will perform in your Tips will be given on what equipment that you will need, what sutures to use, what magnification to use and how to do the surgeries. 13.30 Ophthalmic Surgery Part II Surgery videos will be shown and these will help you improve your ability to competently perform surgery in your 14.30 Eye Problems in Older Dogs and Cats Many dogs and cats are now living longer and this has created a number of emerging eye problems such as lipid keratopathy. Older cats can develop iris pigmentation. Is this age related pigmentation or is it the start of a diffuse iris melanoma? What is causing an older cat to develop purulent ocular discharge? 16.00 Small Animal Case Studies In this final session we can wind up this conference by having an interactive case study session. Equine Stream 11.30 Management of Uveitis Inflammation of the eye develops for a number of reasons. Equine uveitis frequently develops secondary to surface ocular diseases and infections, secondary to trauma as a manifestation of systemic illnesses. It can also develop as an immune mediated condition called Equine Recurrent Uveitis (ERU). Complications of uveitis can be vision threatening. In this series will explore different causes of uveitis and its management. 13.30 Management of Fungal Keratitis Equine fungal keratitis is an important and increasingly more common problem in equine It can be quite challenging to diagnose and treat successfully. Advancements in our understanding of equine fungal keratitis and its treatment in recent years have improved patient outcomes. This session will assist your decision making and improve your management of future cases of suspected and confirmed equine fungal keratitis. 14.30 Examining the Equine Fundus The large variation in normal appearance of the equine fundus and the relative infrequency in which it is examined in general practice makes this component of an eye exam challenging for most. Coat colour, breed and age can all affect the appearance of the normal fundus. Recognising disease adds further complexity for most veterinarians. When performed regularly on all horses presented for examination, you will become more efficient at recognising diseases and vision threatening eye problems. Early detection is often the most critical factor determining successful treatment of many ocular diseases. This lecture will give you more confidence to perform fundus examinations on clinical patients or during prepurchase examinations. 16.00 Equine Case Studies* and This session will discuss case studies and dicuss
