The goal of this book is to provide veterinary students and practitioners with a useful resource for diagnosing and surgically managing cataracts in dogs. Although primarily focused on cataracts in dogs, the procedures outlined in the book can be adapted for other pet and farm animals with some modifications.
The book is composed of 11 chapters, including an introduction, an overview of lens anatomy, a definition of cataract, an examination of the incidence of cataracts, a discussion of the causes of cataracts, a review of the pathogenesis of cataracts, a classification of cataracts, a section on diagnosis, a guide to selecting patients for surgery, a detailed description of surgical management, and a review of potential complications associated with cataract surgery.
