Diagnosing eye conditions requires specialised equipment and careful assessment.

Depending on your pet’s symptoms, we may use:

• An ophthalmoscope to examine the internal structures of the eye.
• Fluorescein dye to detect scratches, ulcers or damage to the cornea.
• A tonometer to measure eye pressure and check for conditions such as glaucoma.

These tests allow us to accurately diagnose many common eye conditions and determine the most appropriate treatment.

Where surgery is required, our clinic offers a range of ophthalmic procedures, including:

• Enucleation (eye removal) for severe glaucoma or cancer
• Entropion surgery to correct inward-turning eyelids
• Ectropion surgery to correct outward-turning eyelids
• Eyelid tumour removal
• Cherry eye surgery
• Corneal ulcer repair

We’ll explain the procedure, expected recovery and ongoing care before any surgery is performed.

Eye problems can develop quickly, so it’s important to seek veterinary attention if you notice:

• Red or inflamed eyes
• Excessive tearing or discharge
• Squinting or keeping an eye closed
• Cloudiness or changes in eye colour
• Pawing or rubbing at the eyes
• Sudden vision changes or bumping into objects

Early diagnosis can often prevent more serious complications and improve treatment outcomes.

Our veterinarians can refer your pet to a specialist veterinary ophthalmologist for specialised treatments such as eye ultrasound, advanced vision testing or cataract surgery, ensuring your pet receives the highest level of care when required.
