This specialty covers a wide range of issues, including infections, injuries, cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal problems.

Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preserving your pet’s vision and overall eye health.
Common eye problems in pets include:

Corneal ulcers: Sores on the cornea, treated with medication and sometimes surgery, depending on severity.
Treatment options vary based on the specific condition and severity. Our veterinary ophthalmologist will perform a thorough examination and recommend the best course of action to address the problem and alleviate your pet’s discomfort.
Signs that your pet may have an eye problem include:
Redness or swelling of the eyes or surrounding areas.
