Ophthalmic
Disease in Veterinary Medicine
By Charles Martin (2004)
This comprehensive text is beautifully illustrated, making it
a rival to Gelatt’s Veterinary Ophthalmology. Although originally written for the
general practitioner with an interest in ophthalmology, it has become popular with
the specialist as well. It is for the reader who wants to go below the surface in
understanding veterinary ophthalmology.

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.
