Why do I need to register my dog’s eye exam?

The OFA Companion Animal Eye Registry (CAER)¹ exists so breeders like you can make informed decisions about breeding healthy dogs. CAER certifications are performed by vet ophthalmologists, like me, Dr. Lindsay Seyer. Then you can upload the information to your OFA account. For more information on CAER, please check out this flyer here.
