DESCRIPTION;LANGUAGE=DE-DE:BEVA survey constituted up to 10% of clinical c
 ases seen in practice. In addition\, the eye is regularly examined as part
  of insurance or pre-purchase examinations with the clinician commonly hav
 ing to make decisions as to the significance of ophthalmic findings. Final
 ly\, examination of the eye is an important part of the complete physical 
 and neurological examinations\, with the ophthalmic findings often giving 
 a clue as to the underlying disease or problem.  The importance of ophthal
 mology to the clinician undertaking equine work is therefore undeniable an
 d yet most veterinarians received only limited training in this area whils
 t in vet school or as a young assistant. This practically-oriented course 
 is intended to help equine clinicians learn about the most important and c
 ommon problems in the equine eye\, to gain confidence in how to deal with 
 these conditions and how to interpret their findings. Extra time will be a
 vailable after lectures for discussion and attendees are encouraged to int
 eract with the speakers in open and frank conversations.\n\nIn the morning

 case presentations :\n\nEquine ophthalmic examination: Basic examination &
