Ophthalmic (Eye) Services for Pets

Your pet’s eyes are essential to their well-being, and when eye problems arise, expert care is crucial. Our veterinary team is experienced in ophthalmic surgery, diagnosing and treating a wide range of eye conditions to help pets maintain clear, comfortable vision.

Comprehensive Eye Examinations

Eye exams require specialised equipment to assess the health of your pet’s eyes. We use:

• Ophthalmoscopes – A magnifying light to check for abnormalities inside the eye.
• Fluorescein Staining – A special dye that highlights corneal damage under UV light.

While many eye conditions can be managed with medication, some require surgery to prevent pain, vision loss, or further complications.

Ophthalmic Surgeries We Perform

Our fully equipped practice offers a range of eye surgeries, including:

• Enucleation (Eye Removal) – Performed in cases of severe glaucoma, trauma, or cancer when the eye is no longer functional or causing pain.
• Entropion Surgery – Corrects eyelids that roll inward, preventing painful irritation from lashes rubbing against the eye.
• Ectropion Surgery – Repairs outward-facing lower eyelids that can lead to chronic infections and discomfort.
• Eyelid Tumour Removal – Safely removes growths that can interfere with vision or cause irritation.
• Cherry Eye Surgery – Corrects a prolapsed third eyelid gland, a common issue in some dog breeds.
• Corneal Ulcer Repair – Treats deep ulcers that can threaten vision and require surgical intervention.
