Comprehensive Pet Ophthalmology Services
Eye issues in pets can develop suddenly or progress over time, making early detection and treatment crucial. Our veterinary team uses diagnostic tools and gentle examination techniques to identify problems affecting the eyes, eyelids, or surrounding structures. From routine eye pressure checks to corrective surgery, we tailor every treatment to your pet’s needs.
Common eye conditions we diagnose and treat
- Corneal ulcers or scratches
- Conjunctivitis (eye infections)
- Cataracts and glaucoma
- Cherry eye (prolapsed third eyelid gland)
- Entropion (inward-rolling eyelids)
- Dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca)
- Eye injuries or trauma
Eye Pressure Testing (Tonometry)
Increased pressure inside the eye can be an early sign of glaucoma, a painful condition that can lead to blindness if untreated. Our team performs tonometry, a quick, noninvasive procedure that measures intraocular pressure to detect abnormalities early. Regular eye pressure checks are especially important for senior pets and breeds prone to glaucoma, helping us intervene before irreversible damage occurs.
Entropion Surgery and Corrective Procedures
Entropion occurs when a pet’s eyelid rolls inward, causing lashes or fur to rub against the cornea. Left untreated, this condition can cause constant irritation, corneal ulcers, and even vision loss. Wagener Animal Clinic performs entropion corrective surgery to restore proper eyelid function and comfort, preventing further eye damage and improving your pet’s quality of life.
We also perform other minor ophthalmic surgeries to address eyelid abnormalities and injuries, always prioritizing safety, precision, and post-operative comfort.
Signs Your Pet May Need an Eye Exam
Because pets can’t tell us when their eyes hurt or vision changes, it’s important to recognize the early warning signs of eye trouble:
- Excessive tearing or discharge
- Squinting, pawing, or rubbing at the eyes
- Cloudiness, redness, or visible swelling
- Sensitivity to light
- Sudden clumsiness or bumping into objects
