Opthalmology

Your pet's eyes are not only windows to their soul but also essential to their everyday experiences. At Veterinary Emergency Centre, we offer specialized ophthalmology services to ensure your furry friend’s eye health is in top condition. Whether it’s addressing common eye issues like cataracts or more complex conditions such as glaucoma, know that our dedicated veterinary team is here to provide expert care.

Early detection and prevention

As with many medical conditions, early detection is key when it comes to eye health. Pets, like humans, can develop eye diseases that may progress unnoticed until symptoms become severe. Routine eye exams help us identify potential problems early, preventing them from becoming more serious. Regular eye check-ups allow us to monitor any changes in your pet’s vision or overall eye health. This proactive approach can make all the difference when it comes to treatment.

Common eye conditions in pets

Pets are prone to various eye conditions, from mild infections to more serious diseases:

• Cataracts: Often age-related, cataracts can cloud your pet’s vision and, if untreated, lead to blindness.
• Glaucoma: This painful condition occurs when fluid builds up in the eye, causing pressure and potential damage to the optic nerve.
• Conjunctivitis: Commonly known as "pink eye," conjunctivitis can cause redness, swelling, and discharge, but is usually treatable with medication.
• Corneal Ulcers: These are wounds on the surface of the eye that, if untreated, can lead to more serious damage.

Our Ophthalmology services

Our ophthalmology services cover a wide range of treatments, from routine exams to more complex surgeries. These include:

• Comprehensive eye exams
• Glaucoma treatment
• Eyelid and corneal surgeries
• Tear duct flushing and repair
• Laser eye treatment

We also offer advanced diagnostic tools to ensure accurate assessments, such as tonometry (to measure eye pressure), slit-lamp biomicroscopy, and ultrasound imaging.

Surgery and aftercare

If your pet requires eye surgery, trust that they will be in the best hands at Veterinary Emergency Centre. Our state-of-the-art surgical suite is equipped with the latest technology, and we use the safest anesthesia and pain management protocols available. We also provide thorough post-operative care instructions and follow-up visits to ensure your pet’s recovery is smooth.
