Eye Care for Dogs and Cats
Your pet's eyes tell you a lot, and when something is wrong with them, it usually shows. Redness, squinting, cloudiness, discharge, or pawing at the face are all signs that your dog or cat needs an eye exam. Eye problems can get worse quickly, so it is always better to have them checked early.
Our veterinarians diagnose and treat common eye conditions in dogs and cats, including eye infections, corneal scratches and ulcers, dry eye, and irritation from allergies or debris. We examine the surface of the eye, the eyelids, and the structures inside to find the source of the problem.
Two of our veterinarians, Dr. Victor Goss and Dr. Travis Procell, have a special interest in ophthalmology, and Dr. Procell is a member of the American Society of Veterinary Ophthalmology. Your pet's eyes are in careful, experienced hands here.
What to Expect with Ophthalmology
Every visit follows four caring steps, so you and your pet always know what comes next.
Eye Exam
Your veterinarian examines your pet's eyes, eyelids, and vision, and asks about the symptoms you have seen at home.
Diagnostic Tests
Simple, painless tests help us check tear production, look for scratches on the cornea, and find the cause of irritation.
Treatment
Most eye problems are treated with drops or ointments. We show you how to apply them so home care is easy.
Recheck and Follow-Up
Eyes can change fast, so we recheck your pet to make sure the problem is healing and vision is protected.
