Ophthalmic Disease in Veterinary MedicineOphthalmic Disease in Veterinary Medicine
By Charles Martin (2004)

This comprehensive text is beautifully illustrated, making it a rival to Gelatt’s Veterinary Ophthalmology.

The Kotani Dog Eye Model

The Kotani Dog Eye Model
Dr. Tadao ‘Ted’ Kotani was a pioneer of Japanese veterinary ophthalmology and a leader in his field. Prior to his untimely death in 2003, Dr. Kotani had been working on an educational model of the canine eye. The Kotani Dog Eye Model finally came on the market in 2005.

This beautifully crafted model is anatomically correct, with careful attention to detail in terms of size, location, and color of external and internal structures. The sturdy plastic model separates into two sections to reveal the interior of the eye. Both the cornea and the lens can be removed. Two lenses are supplied. One is clear to mimic the normal lens and the other is cloudy to depict a cataract.

The model comes with its own viewing stand, allowing it to serve as a work of art as well as an educational tool for clients and students.
