Research Group Prof. Eule

 

Areas of Scientific Interest

 

• Microbiota of the ocular surface in dogs, cats, rabbits and horses

• Antibiotic stewardship and pre-operative disinfection in ophthalmic surgery

• Pre-ocular tear film in dogs, cats and horses (e.g. Meibomian gland dysfunction, osmolarity, biochemistry)

• Infectious diseases of the ocular surface in dogs, cats and cattle

• Evaluation and calibration of various tonometers for the use in Veterinary Ophthalmology

• Ophthalmic disorders in exotic species (e.g. Chinchilla lanigera, captive pinnipeds)

• Orbital surgery in small animals

• Ultrasonography of the equine eye

• Equine recurrent uveitis (ERU)

• Teaching and learning in the Veterinary Ophthalmology
