This volume focuses on surgical procedures involving the orbit, eyelids, nictitating membrane, conjunctiva, lacrimal and nasolacrimal systems. Surgical anatomy, surgical pathophysiology, preoperative considerations and postoperative care and management are covered in detail. The procedures are described in a step-by-step fashion and fully illustrated with line drawings. Written for the non-specialist, this text will appeal to the small animal practitioner as well as the veterinary ophthalmologist.

Following the style of the first volume, this text focuses on ocular surgical procedures. Surgical procedures of the cornea, anterior chamber, anterior uvea and the ocular fundus are presented in detail. Guidelines on the more difficult and challenging corneal and intraocular surgery are provided. Chapters on surgical implementation, anaesthesia and special ophthalmic instruments are followed by chapters focusing on the different areas of the eye and periocular structures. Each chapter covers the clinical importance of the disease and the role of the surgical treatment for its overall clinical management. The text should appeal to those veterinarians who wish to carry out more advanced ophthalmic surgery in the small-animal practice.
