On Wednesday 3rd April, Dr+Vet was honoured to welcome leading veterinary ophthalmologist Maria Simó for our first webinar on Keratoconjunctivitis Seca (KCS) in dogs. During this virtual event, María Simó shared her knowledge and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this common but often underestimated eye disease. Today, we can finally announce that the full video, with subtitles in English (and other languages automatically), is available for viewing on our blog and our YouTube channel! Attached to this article, you will find the direct link to the video so you can access it and deepen the knowledge shared by María Simó.

About Maria Simó:

Maria Simó is a renowned veterinary ophthalmologist with a solid background and extensive experience in the field of veterinary ophthalmology. Graduated in Veterinary Medicine from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, María has completed several postgraduate courses and works as an ophthalmologist at the prestigious Instituto Veterinario Oftalmológico (IVO) in Barcelona.

Contenido del Webinar:

Maria Simó talked us through the basics of Keratoconjunctivitis Seca, from diagnostic methods to the most effective treatment options, exploring in detail how to approach this disease in a comprehensive way.

One of the main conclusions of the webinar was the importance of not relying solely on the Schirmer test to diagnose KCS. María Simó emphasised the need for a complete and detailed assessment, as well as the use of additional diagnostic tools for a correct diagnosis, as without all the information, ineffective treatments may be prescribed. She also talked about the importance of referring cases that do not resolve correctly in order to fully evaluate them.

We thank all participants for their support.

The webinar on Keratoconjunctivitis Seca with Maria Simó was a great success, and we would like to thank everyone who joined us for this educational event. We hope that this resource will be a valuable source of information for all veterinarians interested in veterinary ophthalmology. Feel free to check out the full video and share it with your colleagues.

Maria Simó will be the first guest to the webinar cycle organized by Dr+Vet.

Dr+vet begins a new stage with the presentation of its training webinars for clinical veterinarians. The objective of these talks is to offer quality, enjoyable and useful training to clinicians interested in the world of veterinary ophthalmology.

In this first webinar, we will focus on Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca, since it is a relatively common eye disease in daily clinical practice. We will answer the main questions: How to diagnose it correctly? What are the most effective treatments to manage this eye disease?

The speaker:

Maria Simó, a prominent veterinary ophthalmologist with extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases in animals. Graduated in Veterinary Medicine from the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2016, Maria has completed the BSAVA Postgraduate Certificate in Small Animal Ophthalmology and has completed the ACVO Basic Science Course. Since 2020, she has worked as an ophthalmologist at the Veterinary Ophthalmological Institute (IVO) of Barcelona, where she works alongside Paco Simó, focued in veterinary ophthalmology.

Content:

Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS) is an inflammatory condition of the ocular surface, affecting both the cornea and the conjunctiva. It develops as a result of a deficiency in one of the phases of the tear film, and in dogs, its prevalence reaches 0.4%. However, the qualitative form of KCS (also known as Dry Eye Disease, DDE) often goes unnoticed in general practice, since the results of the Schirmer test (STT-1) usually show values within normality.

A gift for attendees:

All those registered for the seminar will automatically enter a draw to win a complete batch of Dr+Vet ophthalmological products, which will include: Glauco+, Occulus+, Lacrimalis+ 30 tablets, Lacrimalis+ 75ml, Retinae and Lintum. This prize will be drawn in the days close to the webinar through Dr+Vet’s Instagram.

Topic: Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca: Diagnosis and Treatment
Date: April 3, 2024
Time: 1:00 p.m. (CET)
