Veterinary Ophthalmic Surgery

Veterinary Ophthalmic Surgery, 2nd Edition provides comprehensive instruction in surgical care for eye conditions across veterinary medicine. Authored by Kirk N. Gelatt, Janice P. Gelatt, and Caryn E. Plummer, this textbook guides veterinarians, veterinary ophthalmologists, and active practitioners requiring structured guidance for routine and specialized operative care.

The content begins by establishing essential foundational standards, covering specialized surgical instrumentation, operating room setup, anesthesia for ophthalmic surgery, and microsurgery principles. The text subsequently moves through detailed surgical protocols addressing conditions of the orbit, eyelids, nasolacrimal apparatus and tear systems, conjunctiva, nictitating membrane, cornea, and sclera.

To reinforce procedural steps and anatomical structures, the textbook includes over 1,050 high-quality color photographs and technical illustrations. These imagery resources assist clinicians in refining surgical approaches, evaluating technique selection, and preparing for clinical cases in both general practice and specialist referral environments.
