A cat with a tumor in his left eye receives a lot of attention from Dr. Jean Stiles (left) and two veterinary students during their time in the ophthalmology service. Dr. Stiles is a professor of ophthalmology at Purdue University’s School of Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Wendy Townsend (left), a third-year ophthalmology resident, uses a microscope while assisting in cataract surgery on a dog. The procedure is displayed on a monitor above her so students in the operating room can observe the procedure.

A dog suffering from a corneal ulcer has his eye examined.

Dr. Townsend makes a point with a Purdue veterinary student in the ophthalmology service at the end of a long day. Residents share some teaching responsibilities with faculty members.
