The first series of the survey on canine ocular disorders was carried out during the period from mid-summer of 1996 to early summer of 1999.
The eyes of 262 dogs of 30 breeds were examined in the three main islands of Japan, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu.
The majority of dogs examined were newly acquired. The second series of the survey by JCVO-diplomate was started in September of 1999, supported by excellent general practitioners, serious breeders, and owners in various districts of the country.
Since mid-summer of 1996, this project has been carried out as a part of a worldwide survey on canine ocular disorders proposed by Prof. Peter G. C. Bedford at the World Veterinary Congress held in early autumn of 1995 in Yokohama, Japan, when he was President of the World Small Animal Veterinary Association.
