This book reviews, using a highly visual approach, the most common eye disorders and diseases affecting dogs; it includes illustrations, images, and 3D animations to provide veterinary practitioners with a genuine experience of clinical ophthalmology. The content is particularly useful, with concise, comprehensible texts that are supported by the visual material.

Fernando Laguna Sanz earned a degree in veterinary medicine from the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain in 2009. After a period working as an emergency vet in Paris, he completed a general internship, then an ophthalmology internship at the Alfort National Veterinary School (France). From 2012 to 2015, Dr Laguna completed his European College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ECVO) residency at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). He became a Diplomate of the ECVO in 2016.

He has written several publications in journals and presented work at international conferences. At present, Dr Laguna works in Madrid at the Puchol Veterinary Hospital, and the Optivet ophthalmology referral centre in Havant, England.

Dr Sanz earned a degree in veterinary medicine from the University of Córdoba, Spain, and a postgraduate diploma in veterinary ophthalmology at the Complutense University of Madrid (1997). He complemented his education with internships at the Oftalvet Clinic (Mexico City), with Dr Gustavo Adolfo García, and the Long Island Veterinary Specialists (New York), with Dr John Sapienza.

He is a member of several national and international ophthalmological societies and a founding member of the first board of directors of the Spanish Society of Veterinary Ophthalmology (SEOVET), which he presided for 2 years. He is also certified in Ophthalmology by the Spanish Small Animal Veterinary Association (AVEPA), and a member of the European Network in Veterinary Ophthalmology and Animal Vision (REOVVA) working group.

Dr Sanz has presented material in several courses, workshops, and seminars on ophthalmology. In addition, he has authored and coauthored original work published in prestigious national and international journals. He cowrote the collection of books La Oftalmología en Colores (Ophthalmology in Colour), wrote a chapter on ophthalmology in La leishmaniosis canina: una visión práctica (Canine Leishmaniasis: A Practical Vision), authored the book Manual of Ophthalmology in the Dog, translated into English and Japanese, and the book Oftalmología veterinaria: procedimientos exploratorios y operaciones básicas (Veterinary Ophthalmology: Examination Procedures and Basic Surgical Techniques). In April 2008 he opened the Visionvet Veterinary Ophthalmology Clinic – the first ophthalmology referral centre in southern Spain – where he exercises his profession on a full-time basis.
