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.
