Your Pet's First Visit
During your pet's initial visit, our board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist will perform a thorough examination of all structures of the eye, including the eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea, anterior chamber, lens and retina, using specialized ophthalmic instruments.
As part of the exam, three essential diagnostic tests are routinely performed:
- Schirmer Tear Test - measures tear production to assess for dry eye conditions.
- Tonometry - evaluates intraocular pressure to screen for glaucoma or uveitis.
- Fluorescein Staining - detects corneal ulcers or scratches by highlighting areas of damage.
These diagnostics, combined with a detailed visual assessment, allow us to accurately diagnose and tailor treatment for a wide range of ocular conditions in animals.
