We will discuss the common ophthalmic emergencies a general practitioner or emergency clinician is likely to encounter, and how to best triage the eye in order to increase the prognosis for both vision and globe survival in dogs and cats. Time will be spent detailing how to determine visual/globe prognosis and how to effectively stabilize for referral to an ophthalmologist if needed.
