The Animal Ophthalmology Center

We offer comprehensive physical exams as part of our ophthalmology consultations to assess overall eye and systemic health. These exams help identify underlying conditions that may impact ocular wellness, ensuring a holistic approach to your pet’s care.

To support diagnostic accuracy for ophthalmic cases, we conduct in-house bloodwork, including CBCs and chemistry panels. These tests help identify systemic issues that may influence eye health or require concurrent management.

When necessary for diagnostic purposes related to eye conditions or secondary complications, we utilize digital X-rays to evaluate internal structures. This may include assessing orbital fractures, foreign bodies, or other abnormalities affecting ocular health.

We provide ultrasound imaging for detailed evaluation of intraocular and periocular structures, such as the lens, retina, and surrounding tissues. This non-invasive tool aids in diagnosing complex conditions like tumors, detachments, or intraocular bleeding.

As part of our glaucoma management services, we perform eye pressure testing to monitor intraocular pressure and detect early signs of this painful and vision-threatening condition. Early intervention is key to preserving your pet’s sight.

We offer blood pressure monitoring for patients with systemic conditions that may impact ocular health, such as hypertension. This helps us tailor treatment plans to address both cardiovascular and eye-related concerns.

In cases where foreign objects penetrate or irritate the eye, we offer foreign body removal using precise surgical techniques to minimize damage and promote healing while preserving vision.

For traumatic injuries affecting the eyes or surrounding structures, our team provides expert wound and laceration repair. We use advanced suturing methods to ensure proper healing and reduce complications.

In acute ocular emergencies (e.g., sudden blindness, severe trauma), we provide emergency stabilization to address critical issues like corneal perforations or retinal detachment before definitive treatment.

For complex cases requiring post-operative care or intensive monitoring, we offer hospitalization and 24-hour observation. This ensures continuous assessment of recovery progress, especially after surgeries like cataract removal or glaucoma treatment.

For patients requiring respiratory support post-surgery or due to ocular-related complications, we provide oxygen therapy to optimize recovery and comfort.

We administer IV fluid therapy as needed to support hydration and systemic stability during ophthalmic procedures or in cases of dehydration secondary to eye conditions (e.g., chronic discharge, trauma).

We prioritize pain management for all ophthalmic patients undergoing surgery or treatment for painful conditions like glaucoma, corneal ulcers, or post-operative recovery. Your pet’s comfort is a cornerstone of our care.

We conduct quality of life assessments for pets with chronic or advanced eye diseases to guide treatment decisions. This ensures that interventions align with your pet’s well-being and comfort.
