Ophthalmology

Eye problems can appear suddenly and may cause discomfort or vision loss if untreated. We diagnose and treat a range of eye conditions to help keep your pet’s eyes healthy, bright, and pain-free.

Pet ophthalmology focuses on the health, function, and treatment of your pet’s eyes. Our team can diagnose and manage a wide range of eye conditions, from minor irritations to more serious diseases using specialised equipment and gentle handling.

During an eye examination, we may use an ophthalmoscope (a magnifying light to examine the eye) or a fluorescein dye test, which glows under UV light to reveal any corneal damage. A tonometer is also used to measure the pressure within the eye, helping us detect conditions like glaucoma early.

Advanced Treatment and Surgical Options

Many eye conditions can be managed medically with drops or medication, while others may need surgical intervention. Our clinic is fully equipped to perform a variety of eye surgeries, including:

• Enucleation (eye removal) for severe glaucoma or cancer
• Entropion and ectropion surgery to correct abnormal eyelid positions
• Eyelid tumour removal
• Cherry eye repair in dogs

Your pet’s eyesight plays a vital role in their comfort and confidence. With timely diagnosis and expert care, we can relieve discomfort, restore vision where possible, and help your pet see the world clearly again.

If your pet has a more serious problem, our vets also work closely with specialist veterinary ophthalmologists and we are able to arrange referral if required.
