Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that deals with diseases and surgery of the visual pathways, including the eye, brain, and surrounding areas.

Expert Eye Care, Exceptional Experience

With new specialists onboard, we’ve significantly expanded our ophthalmology services. Our board-certified veterinary ophthalmologists have extensive training and experience in diagnosing and treating eye diseases in small and exotic animals, now offering both comprehensive diagnostics and advanced surgical interventions.

Advanced Ophthalmology, Collaborative Care

What sets our ophthalmology services apart:

  • Seamless collaboration with referring veterinarians – before, during, and after each case
  • Low-stress exams that are often completed without sedation
  • Clear, timely communication about diagnosis, treatment options, and case outcomes
  • Patient-centered care from specialists who respect the client-animal bond

Most ophthalmic exams are non-invasive, efficient, and designed to minimize patient stress while delivering precise diagnostic insight to guide treatment.

Comprehensive Services

  • Cataract removal and artificial lens implantation
