What do you do for a living?

[MidnightCamper]

As a masseuse was the “Bob Kraft Special” on the menu?

I don't follow pop culture so I'd have to look that reference up but I assume it isn't to do with cheeze whiz.

I'm a Veterinary Ophthalmologist by training (now the forum name makes sense, huh), but haven't practiced in some time as I'm more involved with management at this point in my career.

I guess dogs could present as difficult pupils?(sorry...my kids tell me my humour is becoming cornea)

This I find interesting. Is there any difference between your line of work and a ophalmologist practitioner. Apart from animals can’t tell you what they are seeing and their symptoms.

Is it all around the handling of the animal ?

Great question - very similar overall. I believe human ophthalmologists deal with more age related conditions, vision related issues, etc. On the veterinary side we deal with more inherited or breed related issues (lid, glaucoma, etc.) as well as trauma (lid lacerations, corneal lacerations, corneal foreign bodies), and infectious. Lot's of common procedures though, like cataract surgery, etc. that use the same equipment and techniques.

Had to take a horse three weeks ago to a specialist veterinary clinic to have laser treatment to remove a cyst from his eye. Didn't realise how common it is in arab greys. Thankfully he is now OK, didn’t relax until they confirmed it wasn't a tumour

I should have you look at my blind dog. He goes to a veterinary ophthalmologist in RI. No issues now.

He was born w/detached retinas had a nystagmus in one eye which went away. He did bump into something causing an eye bleed (his left eye) with high pressures that we treated. That eye sunk into the socket and rolled back a bit.

He is awfully cute when you talk to him and he moves his head around trying to "find you" and look you in the eyes.

Shame for the poor lad, sounds like he is still living his best life though.

Thanks for the explanation, that makes perfect sense, as working two dogs they regularly come out of the brush having scratched their eyes or managed to walk/run straight into a stick or something. I am surprised they both have two eyes each tbh..

Thats the Beauty of dogs (really animals in general), they are masters of adaptation and do incredibly well after vision loss.
