About the Academy
For vets who can recognise and treat eye disease
VetEye Academy was founded to give practising veterinarians and veterinary students the knowledge to recognise and treat eye diseases, and to share our experience in the field.
More vets with a solid grounding in ophthalmology means more patients treated with confidence — and a real contribution to animal health. That is what drives us.
The training is a series of five complementary levels: it starts with core and advanced topics taught through clinical cases, and continues with one-on-one clinical training at the patient’s side, narrated surgery recordings and microsurgery practicals.
