Eye exams are conducted on both eyes, starting with an external examination and gradually progressing to examine deeper structures within the eye. The exam includes various ophthalmic tests such as the Schirmer tear test, fluorescein staining, and tonometry.
The doctor will use a handheld microscope called a slit lamp and perform a fundic exam using indirect ophthalmoscopy.
Afterward, the doctor will review the findings with you and provide guidance on the results and any recommended next steps.
Client education is a top priority for us, as we believe it’s essential for you to fully understand your pet’s diagnosis and the treatment recommendations provided.
Retinal testing provides a comprehensive assessment of both the function and structure of the retina, as well as the health of the posterior segment of the eye. Specialized retinal testing such as electroretinography and ocular ultrasound provide valuable insights into the condition of your pet’s eyes, helping to detect potential issues that may not be immediately visible.
The advanced diagnostic services offered by Visionary Vet Services are designed to identify retinal conditions, such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), Sudden Acquired Retinal Degeneration Syndrome (SARDS), retinal detachments, and more, ensuring early intervention and better management of your pet’s eye health. Early detection is key to understanding your pet’s condition and proactively planning the best possible care for their eye health.
Glaucoma is a progressive and often debilitating eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure, which can ultimately lead to blindness if left untreated. An advanced eye exam to assess the underlying cause of glaucoma is crucial for developing the most effective, tailored treatment plan for your pet. Numerous conditions can contribute to glaucoma, making early and accurate detection vital to help manage the condition and minimize further damage
At Visionary Vet Services, we offer advanced screening and early detection for glaucoma, ensuring your pet’s eye health is closely monitored. During a detailed exam with our veterinarian, we will assess the likelihood of glaucoma and discuss further diagnostic options, such as gonioscopy, to help ensure timely intervention and effective management of the condition.
Specialized blood health screening is essential, as certain eye conditions can be linked to underlying systemic blood disorders or other health issues. At Visionary Vet Services, we take a whole-body approach to ensure a comprehensive, tailored treatment plan for your pet. If necessary, bloodwork will be performed, along with advanced analysis based on your pet’s specific health concerns, to provide a thorough understanding and the best care possible.
Pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites are ever-present in our environment and can sometimes impact both the surface of the eye and the bloodstream. While the eye naturally harbors bacteria, eye disease can compromise local ocular immunity, making it more susceptible to secondary infections that can progress quickly. Early detection and prompt treatment are essential to prevent permanent damage if an infection develops. At Visionary Vet Services, we perform in-house diagnostics for immediate identification of ocular pathogens, allowing us to tailor the most effective treatment.
High blood pressure can lead to eye disease and affect other vital organs in the body. At Visionary Vet Services, we offer blood pressure screening for early detection and intervention, helping to prevent irreversible damage to the retina and other structures in the eye. We collaborate with your primary care veterinarian to provide comprehensive blood pressure testing and, if needed, can refer your pet to a veterinary internal medicine specialist for advanced care.
An OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) eye certification exam is a thorough evaluation of your pet’s eye health, conducted by a veterinary ophthalmologist. This exam screens for hereditary eye conditions that may affect your pet’s vision, including cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal diseases. The OFA eye certification is essential for breeders looking to ensure their breeding animals are free from genetic eye disorders, promoting the health of future generations. At Visionary Vet Services, we offer OFA eye exams to provide you with a detailed, certified evaluation of your pet’s eye health.
