- Abstract
This article comprises a practical approach to the small animal ophthalmic examination. Initially, the signalment is evaluated followed by the general and specific clinical history and a general physical examination. The ocular examination should be performed in a detailed systematic manner and always comprises both eyes. A thorough examination technique is rewarding as a diagnosis can be reached in most cases. The subsequent search for the underlying aetiology is mandatory.
