What is the ECVO HED Platform?
ECVO HED Platform stands for European College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ECVO) Hereditary Eye Disease (HED) Platform. This platform is an important tool in veterinary ophthalmology, particularly aimed at the identification and registration of hereditary eye diseases in animals, primarily in dogs.
The ECVO HED Platform was developed to standardize and improve eye examinations aimed at detecting hereditary eye disorders. Eye examiners certified by ECVO use the platform to record findings during systematic eye examinations. These findings are compiled into a database, which helps monitor the incidence of eye diseases across races. The aim is to reduce the incidence of hereditary eye diseases through responsible breeding.
The platform makes it possible to create a European standard for diagnosis and documentation, which is essential to promote the health of the animal population by identifying risk factors for hereditary diseases and guiding breeders to make informed choices.
Eye examiners, who are certified by ECVO, use this platform to upload the results of eye examinations. This system also helps to give owners and breeders better insight into the condition of their animals and what genetic risk factors may be present.
