Common Pet Eye Conditions We Treat
Our clinic is equipped to diagnose and treat a comprehensive range of ophthalmic conditions affecting various animal species. Some of the most common issues we address include:
Glaucoma
A painful condition caused by increased pressure within the eye, leading to irreversible vision loss if not promptly treated. We offer emergency and long-term management strategies to preserve vision and alleviate discomfort.
Cataracts
Opacities within the lens of the eye that impair vision. We specialize in surgical cataract removal using phacoemulsification, restoring clear vision for many pets.
Dry Eye (Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca - KCS)
A chronic condition where the eye doesn't produce enough tears, leading to inflammation, discomfort, and potential vision impairment. We provide ongoing management to restore tear film health.
Corneal Ulcers and Injuries
Damage to the clear outer layer of the eye. From superficial abrasions to deep perforations, we offer advanced medical and surgical treatments for rapid healing and minimal scarring.
Eyelid Abnormalities
Conditions such as entropion (inward rolling eyelids), ectropion (outward rolling eyelids), and distichiasis (extra eyelashes) can cause chronic irritation. We perform corrective surgeries to enhance comfort and protect the eye.
Retinal Diseases
Affecting the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, conditions like Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) or retinal detachments require specialized diagnosis and management to preserve remaining vision or prevent further deterioration.
Recognizing Eye Problems in Your Pet
Early detection is key to successful treatment. Be vigilant for any of the following signs, which may indicate an underlying eye issue:
- Redness or swelling around the eye
- Discharge from the eye (clear, watery, or thick/pus-like)
- Squinting, blinking excessively, or holding an eye shut
- Rubbing or pawing at the face/eyes
- Cloudiness, film, or change in eye color
- Visible injury or foreign object in the eye
- Changes in pupil size or asymmetry
- Bumping into objects, indicating vision loss
