Veterinary Opthalmologist for Dogs & Cats

Your pet’s primary veterinarian examines their eyes during yearly exams. But just like in human medicine, there are conditions that may require a consultation with an ophthalmologist. Veterinary ophthalmologists undergo three to four years of additional training focused on understanding and treating eye conditions and are certified by the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists.

What to Expect During an Ophthalmology Consultation

When you schedule your appointment, our team will share information on how to prepare for your visit, which may include things like making sure your pet has not eaten (if fasting is required) or bringing a list of their medications.

During your pet’s consultation, our ophthalmology team will review your pet’s medical records from your family veterinarian and discuss your pet’s lifestyle and health history with you. We will perform a comprehensive eye exam on your pet by checking their tear production, measuring eye pressure, and thoroughly examining their eyelids, cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve.

Based on our findings, your pet may need additional advanced testing. We will discuss your pet’s diagnosis and treatment plan with you and answer any questions you may have. Our team partners with your family veterinarian to provide the best treatment options for your pet.
