Veterinary Eye Clinic Monterey Bay

As part of our commitment to patient safety, we perform preoperative in-house bloodwork (CBC and chemistry panels) to assess organ function and anesthesia risk. This ensures customized anesthetic plans for procedures such as glaucoma treatment, corneal surgeries, or other ophthalmic interventions.

We specialize in Eye Pressure Testing (Glaucoma Screening) as part of our advanced ophthalmology services. Dr. Curto and her team are experienced in diagnosing glaucoma and other pressure-related eye conditions to preserve your pet's vision and prevent deterioration. Our state-of-the-art equipment ensures accurate and pain-free diagnostic procedures.

In cases of ophthalmic emergencies—such as acute glaucoma attacks, severe trauma (e.g., lens luxation), or chemical burns—we offer immediate emergency stabilization. Our team prioritizes rapid intervention, such as Intraocular Pressure (IOP) reduction or wound management, in collaboration with referring veterinarians.

We provide hospitalization and 24-hour monitoring post-procedure to support recovery, particularly for complex cases like proptosis repair, cataract surgeries, or patients requiring intensive post-op care. Our skilled team ensures comfortable, stress-free convalescence with continuous professional oversight.

For patients requiring supportive care—such as those with retinal detachment, severe uveitis, or post-surgical stabilization—we provide oxygen therapy to enhance healing and improve oxygenation during critical phases of treatment.

Pain management is a cornerstone of our care, especially after ophthalmic surgeries (e.g., cataract removal, lid repair) or procedures involving ocular trauma. We use advanced protocols to alleviate discomfort while monitoring for side effects, ensuring your pet’s recovery is as smooth and anxiety-free as possible.

We manage eye-related poisonings (e.g., exposure to household chemicals, toxic plants like lilies, or pharmaceutical overdoses) with specialized intravenous therapies, flushing techniques, and supportive care to mitigate damage and preserve vision.

We provide compassionate quality of life assessments for pets suffering from chronic or terminal ocular diseases (e.g., end-stage glaucoma or blindness from retinal detachment). Our goal is to guide owners in making informed decisions that prioritize their pet’s comfort and dignity.
