Summary
Finally some Ophthalmology! Corneal ulceration (ulcerative keratitis) is a problem that is encountered commonly in small animal practice and the approach to treatment depends on a good understanding of the severity of the problem in the individual patient. In this two-part podcast mini-series we start with a refresher of the anatomy of the eye and more specifically the anatomy and function of the cornea. We then discuss causes of corneal pathology and the spectrum of severity in ulcerative keratitis. Examination of the patient and appropriate treatment according to severity are discussed and the podcast mini-series is rounded off with some chat about corneal transplant and a quick tangent on diabetic cataracts! I am joined for this feast of Ophthalmology by Màrian Matas Riera who is a lecturer in Ophthalmology here at the RVC. Part 2 of this mini-series will be uploaded in approximately 3 weeks' time.

| 0:00.0 | So hello, welcome back to the Small Animal Clinical podcast brought to you from the Royal Veterinary College in London. |
| 0:06.0 | My name is Shailen Jassani. |
| 0:08.0 | Before we get into today's podcast, I just wanted to take a moment to thank the people that have rated or reviewed the podcast in iTunes. |
| 0:16.0 | We're now up to 11 ratings, so we're slowly creeping up. |
| 0:20.0 | But the good news is they're |
| 0:21.2 | all five-star, which is awesome. And I also wanted to mention the latest people who have |
| 0:25.7 | posted comments. So the first is from someone who goes by the name of Leo the vet. And he |
| 0:31.4 | writes, brilliant, these podcasts are informative and easy to listen to, extremely useful |
| 0:36.7 | as a vet student, and I'm sure that's |
| 0:38.8 | the same for vets in practice. |
| 0:40.8 | The content is always at the right level and well discussed between the clinicians, perfect |
| 0:45.5 | for long car journeys 10 out of 10. |
| 0:48.7 | And the second comment is from someone who goes by the name of 2005 grad, And he or she writes, really enjoying this podcast. |
| 0:56.1 | Great to listen to when on the go. |
| 0:58.1 | Everyone I listen to makes me think about what I do |
| 1:00.3 | when seeing cases and gives great tips. |
| 1:03.2 | Wish they were more frequent. |
| 1:04.8 | And that actually is a bit of a not a sore point, |
| 1:08.1 | because obviously we would love to make the podcast more frequent, |
| 1:10.4 | but the practicalities and logistics of doing that is a challenge. So I guess I just wanted to say thank |
| 1:16.1 | you very much for those comments. And if anyone else can spare the time to get onto iTunes or |
| 1:21.4 | Stitcher Radio and rate and review the podcast, that will be great. Okay, so let's get on with our podcast today and I'm really looking forward to today's podcast, especially as it is our first foray into ophthalmology, which is definitely long, long overdue. |
