A webinar on nutraceuticals in veterinary ophthalmology will take place on Thursday, April 27 at 9:00 p.m. organized by the European Society of Veterinary Ophthalmology (ESVO), which is supported by Dr+Vet.
This webinar will address the most commonly used ingredients in veterinary ophthalmology and their role in certain diseases, as well as the scientific evidence that supports them and the recommended protocols. The webinar, which will be broadcast in English, is free for all ESVO members and for non-ESVO members, the price will be 30 euros.
The webinar will be given by ophthalmology specialist Teresa Peña, who graduated in Veterinary Medicine from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) in 1987 and received a doctorate from the same university in 1993 with an experimental study on penetrating corneal grafts in dogs.

Likewise, the expert co-directs a postgraduate course in veterinary ophthalmology, to obtain an intermediate degree, as well as residency programs to be part of the ECVO.
