At The Eye Vets, we strive to provide the best and most up to date and innovative care to our patients. One of the ways we do so is by meeting monthly to discuss current literature and our own personal experiences with the topics we are reviewing.
During this month’s journal club meeting, The Eye Vets team reviewed the 2021 Veterinary Ophthalmology article, “Hypokalemia associated with topical administration of dorzolamide 2% ophthalmic solution in cats.”
Just because eye drops are small does not mean they can’t cause systemic side effects. Have you ever had a patient experience systemic side effects of Dorzolamide?
And the winner of the TONOVET Plus is….
Congratulations to Megan Estes from All Animals Veterinary Hospital in Dickson, TN! You won a TONOVET Plus for your hospital!
Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures in our office but it never gets old, especially when we get to try out new technology! We had the opportunity to utilize the brand new @anvisionglobal pre-loaded intraocular lens and loved it!
Pros:
- Incredibly simple to use, and instructions provided with device make setup a breeze.
- Faster, more streamlined IOL preparation and injection.
- IOL leaves the injector tip in a more controlled manner.
Cons:
- Corneal incision needs to be elongated slightly more than usually because of the size of the injector tip.
