Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

In recent decades, all veterinary clinical specialties have been characterized by advances in knowledge and improvement in treatment. Among these specialties, ophthalmology has experienced dramatic progress. The development of veterinary ophthalmic surgery in recent years, in particular, has given rise to innovative research, advanced surgical skills and quality results for the recovery of animals’ visual function. The aim of this Special Issue is to clarify recent advances in the surgical management of many ophthalmic disorders in small animals, focusing on the latest surgical techniques and instrument technology. Moreover, all the most innovative techniques for the treatment of neoplastic diseases involving ocular tissues will be explored, in order to define the possibility of guaranteeing small animals a good quality of life, despite the invasiveness of ocular disease. In summary, this Special Issue will provide an overview of selected new developments in small animal ophthalmic surgery, opening avenues for new approaches to the therapies of many ocular pathologies found in clinical practice.

To retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness and outcome of lamellar keratoplasty using acellular bioengineering cornea (BioCorneaVetTM) for the treatment of feline corneal sequestrum (FCS). The medical records of cats diagnosed with FCS that underwent lamellar keratoplasty with BioCorneaVetTM between 2018 and 2021 with a minimum of 3 months of follow-up were reviewed. Follow-up examinations were performed weekly for 3 months, and then optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination was performed on select patients at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months post-operatively. A total of 61 cats (30 left eyes and 32 right eyes) were included. The Persian breed was overrepresented, 48/61 (78.69%). Four different thicknesses of acellular bioengineering cornea were used (200, 300, 400, or 450 microns), and the mean graft size was 8.23 mm (range, 5.00–12.00 mm). Minor complications were composed of partial dehiscence, and protrusion of the graft occurred in 7/62 eyes (11.29%). The median postoperative follow-up was 12.00 months (range, 3–41 months). A good visual outcome was achieved in 60/62 eyes (96.77%), and a mild to moderate corneal opacification occurred in 2/62 (3.23%). No recurrence of corneal sequestrum was observed. From the results, lamellar keratoplasty using acellular bioengineering cornea (BioCorneaVetTM) is an effective treatment for FCS, providing a good tectonic support and natural collagen framework, and resulting in satisfactory visual and cosmetic effects.
