The Eye Conditions We See
Ocular disease is common in both cats and dogs, and may be due to injuries, a systemic health issue, breed (some breeds, like those with shorter snouts, are more at risk of eye problems), genetics or aging. Some of the most common eye conditions that we diagnose and treat include:
- Eyelid abnormalities
- Cherry eye (prolapsed gland of the third eyelid)
- Dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca)
- Corneal disease including ulcers, keratitis
- Uveitis (inflammation of middle layer of tissue in the eye wall)
- Glaucoma
- Lens disease including cataracts and lens luxation
- Retinal disease including detachment and dysplasia
- Orbital tumors and abscesses
- Intraocular tumors

In addition, if you are a breeder, we offer OFA Eye Certification examinations (the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals recommends annual ophthalmic evaluations to screen for genetic problems in dogs used for breeding).
And we’re proud to participate in the ACVO® National Service Animal Eye Exam initiative. This philanthropic event provides free ocular screening exams to qualified service and working animals each May, helping to ensure that formally trained working animals can continue their selfless work serving humans.
