Fundamentals of Veterinary Ophthalmology Wet-lab NZ (June 2026)

This course was designed to expand the core diagnostic and surgical skill set for ophthalmic cases and was suitable for veterinarians of all levels of experience. Developing this fundamental skill set greatly improved participants’ ability to manage a wide range of ophthalmic conditions in practice. The day focused on these fundamental diagnostic and treatment skills and did not review specific clinical ophthalmic disorders.
