The speaker
Mary Glaze D.V.M., a Diplomate of
the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists, currently is employed as a
referral Ophthalmologist in Houston Texas, where she manages many of the common
problems encountered by the general practitioner. Prior to 2001, Mary was a
Professor of Ophthalmology and clinical Ophthalmologist at Louisiana State
University College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Glaze has published an atlas of
feline ophthalmology and has published widely in veterinary texts and journals.
Because of her ability to present informative and entertaining lectures Dr.
Glaze has been invited to present over 130 clinical presentations in the U.S.,
Australia, Puerto Rico, Canada, Japan and Germany.
Dr. Glaze has also presented several IVS
seminars and continues to be one of our most popular speakers! Mary will
present her thoughts on many of the more common ocular problems that the general
practitioner encounters in their practice:
The topics-
- Practical thoughts on eye examinations
Elements of a complete examination using a penlight and 3 ancillary
diagnostic tests. Hear practical examination tips based on 15 years in a dimly
lit room.
- The first ocular examination
The eyes of puppies and kittens can look considerably different. See what
is acceptable in the immature eye, what problems can be appreciated during the
patients first ocular exam and what can be done to manage such problems as
entropion
- Corneal ulcers-routine and difficult
What to do when an ulcer persists or progresses despite conventional
therapy. What's new in the management of the superficial ulcer, recurrent
epithelial erosion and deep/perforating (real deep!) corneal ulcers.
- Choosing the appropriate drugs
Find out which antibiotics, anti- inflammatories and other selected drugs
are best and why
- Differential diagnosis and management of the red eye
Anterior uveitis, glaucoma and conjunctivitis are common causes of a red
eye. Here's a simplified system for distinguishing one from another, along
with recommendations for therapy.
- Persistent ocular discharge
Yellow, tenacious exudates and brown-stained facial hairs are colorfull
consequences of canine lacrimal and nasolacrimal diseases. Includes easy
diagnostic and realistic treatment regiments for keratoconjunctivitis sicca
and epiphora.
- Fundus interpretation made real
Identification and interpretation of fundoscopic lesions including collie
eye anomaly, retinal dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, retinal
detachment and chorioretinitis (both active and inactive).
- Ocular manifestations of systemic disease
See how the eye respond to systemic disease and how it can be used to your
advantage in the diagnostic process. The discussion will include patients who
presented with primary ocular rather than systemic complaints in potentially
life-threatening diseases
Practical solutions for injuries including eyelid lacerations, corneal
lacerations, ocular foreign bodies, the proptosed globe and hyphema/intraocular
hemorrhage. Learn to predict which individuals have the best prognosis for
vision and comfort
A discussion of unique feline features including eyelid agenesis,
eosinophilic keratitis, corneal sequestrations, herpetic keratitis, infectious
conjunctivitis, anterior uveitis and glaucoma
A discussion of the aging canine and feline eye, including corneal
mineralization, cataracts, retinal detachment, endothelial dystophy and tumors
