Ophthalmology Services

The Ophthalmology Service provides advanced diagnostics, medical and surgical care to patients with a variety of ocular disorders. Specialized testing includes slit lamp biomicroscopy, gonioscopy, electroretinography and high-frequency ocular ultrasound. Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, cataracts, glaucoma and ocular neoplasia are among the more common conditions we are presented with. We also provide CERF examinations to breeders who wish to monitor the incidence of eye disease in their pedigrees. We provide care to dogs, cats, birds and other exotic species. Our team of faculty, residents, and technicians provides a team approach to each patient's care.
