De-mystifying ophthalmology for GP veterinarians

About

Interactive resources and online learning to empower vets in first opinion small animal ophthalmology

I'm Ellie, a certificated veterinary ophthalmologist, and I created Simplifeye CPD because I've genuinely been where you are. I used to dread eye cases – I was the vet panicking and dispensing Exocin, dreading those "eye still not better" rechecks.
After years of working in both first-opinion and referral ophthalmology, I've poured my heart and soul into building practical resources I wish I'd had during those early days.
My platform offers evidence-based online learning tools specifically designed for small animal vets navigating ophthalmology in general practice: interactive diagnostic aids that help you work through chronic ulceration, vision loss, ocular lesions and abnormal eye positioning; a comprehensive ophthalmic formulary with dosing guidance and my personal tips; rapid-fire condition summaries for when you know the diagnosis but need a quick refresher; in-depth webinars covering topics vets commonly struggle with; and step-by-step surgical videos with real footage.
Everything I've created draws from my clinical experience and current best practices.
I want to be completely clear – these tools aren't designed to replace referral or specialist advice.
Eyes can do weird and wonderful things beyond the first opinion scope, and I encourage you to refer to it when appropriate.
My mission is to demystify ophthalmology, help you understand common conditions, and give you confidence in managing eye cases when referral isn't immediately available.

Hello there

I'm Ellie – ex-ophthalmophobe, turned ophthalmology lover with a certificate and referral ophthalmology job under my belt. It’s lovely to meet you, and I’m so delighted that you’re here!

I have one mission:

To de-mystify ophthalmology for as many first opinion vets as possible.

I created Simplifeye because I know how daunting ophthalmology can be - I've been there, got the "panicked and dispensed Exocin" t-shirt. Before I fell in love with eyes in my pre-certificate/referral days I, like everyone else, found them intimidating, felt like nothing really made sense and dreaded the "eye still not better" rechecks.

I also know first-hand just how difficult the pressures of small animal first opinion can be (day, night or locum shifts) - the time restraints, the financial restraints and it simply not being possible to remember every detail about every possible condition at the drop of a hat.

I wanted to do something to help - so I created resources that takes some of the stress out of eye cases

I've produced these in light of what you need in the moment at work when you're having a brain blank, or when you want to learn more (I hope so - eyes are fascinating!)

Let’s be clear – none of this is designed to replace the option of referring patients or seeking advice from an ophthalmologist.

Eyes are great, but like any organ they can do weird and wonderful things that lie beyond the scope of first opinion.

More rather, these tools are here to help you understand common conditions, know which things need referring sooner and to give you a clue about what to do in the first instance if referral is not an option.
