Ophthalmology

We have the capability to diagnose and treat numerous eye conditions. Some breeds are prone to certain eye conditions, and early treatment can sometimes help maintain appropriate vision and avoid painful conditions. The following are some of the diagnostic tools that we have available:

• Rebound Tonometer - invaluable tool to aid with diagnosing conditions such as glaucoma
• Slit Lamp Examination (Biomicroscopy) - allows for detail examination of the structures in the
• Indirect and Direct Retinal Examination - allows for detailed examination of the back of the eye
• Fluorescein eys Staining - allows us to see if there are any lesions on the surface of the eye
• Schirmer Tear Testing - allows us to diagnose inadequate tear production

A few of the surgical procedures we can perform are as follows:

• Medial Canthoplasty for macropalpebral fissure syndrome
• Third eyelid replacement
• Non-healing indolent "boxer" ulcer repair
• Enucleation
• Eyelid mass removal
• Eyelid wedge resections
• Cryosurgery for Distichiasis
• Conjunctival scrapes and biopsies
• Nasolacrimal duct flushing
