Ophthalmology

Because your pet mainly communicates with you through their eyes, they deserve the best care from our ophthalmology clinicians.

As if he was our own!

Why consult in ophthalmology?

Your pet should be seen by one of our ophthalmology clinicians if they present:

  • A change in the appearance of their eye
  • Abnormal redness
  • Abnormal flow
  • Loss or decrease in vision

Frequently asked questions

When should I consult a veterinary ophthalmologist for my pet?

A consultation may be recommended if your pet experiences persistent redness, abnormal discharge, changes in the appearance of the eye, signs of pain, or decreased vision. Some eye conditions can progress rapidly, so it is important not to delay seeking veterinary care when you notice any changes. 

What conditions can be treated by the ophthalmology department

Our team can evaluate and treat a wide range of conditions affecting the eyes and vision, including corneal ulcers, glaucoma, cataracts, retinal diseases, and various types of ocular inflammation or abnormalities. 

What tests may be performed during an ophthalmology consultation

Depending on your pet’s condition, various tests may be recommended, such as tear production testing, tonometry to measure intraocular pressure, fluorescein staining, ocular ultrasound, or electroretinography. 

Can eye surgeries be performed

Yes. Depending on your pet’s diagnosis and individual needs, various ophthalmic surgical procedures may be recommended. 

Our ophthalmology clinicians will examine your animal if they show signs of pain or other eye symptoms.
