Description
When it comes to the equine pre-purchase examination (PPE), ophthalmic findings can be some of the trickiest to interpret — and the stakes are high. Is that mild corneal scar a harmless remnant of the past, or a future deal-breaker? How do you distinguish clinically insignificant quirks from conditions that could impact long-term performance or buyer expectations?
In this webinar, we’ll take a deep dive into how to interpret some of the more common abnormal ophthalmic PPE findings, discuss their potential clinical significance, and explore how to communicate with clients in a way that supports informed decision-making.
