How do I know if my pet is in pain?

Many animals will exhibit eye pain by rubbing their face either with their paws or on things like furniture, grass, carpet and even you.
Occasionally they will seem to be depressed or lethargic and sleep much more than normal.
Some animals will squint or hold their eye closed if it is hurting them.
Another thing to look for is tear spillage on the fur around the affected eye(s).

How do I know if my pet needs an eye exam?

Thick discharge has been present on the eyelids for several days.
The eye(s) appears cloudy.
The white portion of the eye is bloodshot.
The animal’s vision seems decreased.

What occurs during an eye exam?

Special instruments are used to measure eye pressure, tear production, check the cornea and lens for disease, and determine the retinal health.
A cost estimate will be provided, and medical and surgical treatments will be explained before they are performed.
Appropriate medications will be dispensed or recommended and if necessary a prescription written.
Patient care instructions are provided to the owner and a report is sent to the regular veterinarian after each visit.

What is a board certified veterinary ophthalmologist / ACVO diplomate?

“Board certified”, indicates that a veterinarian has advanced education and training in a specific discipline of veterinary medicine and surgery. In the case of veterinary ophthalmology, this indicates that an individual is certified to meet the high standards of the ACVO (American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists) and has been granted diplomat status in the organization.

ACVO diplomats are trained to accurately diagnose and treat eye diseases in dogs and other animals, screen animals for genetic eye diseases, offer breeding advice regarding actual or presumed genetic eye disorders, and offer micro-surgical options for the treatment of certain conditions.
