GENERAL ANIMAL EYE CONDITIONS
Learn More About the General Eye Conditions Our Clinic Treats
Eyes are critical to the everyday lives of both humans and animals, as they help our brains to understand the world around us. When an animal injures its eyes, it’s a serious condition that needs attention, but because animals cannot directly communicate with us, it is our responsibility to provide them with the care they need in a timely manner. However, when it comes to eyes, not just any veterinarian can get the job done. Luckily, our team at Animal Eye Associates offers specialized eye care for a range of injuries and conditions. Learn more about the conditions we treat and contact us today to schedule an appointment!

THE IMPORTANCE OF EYE HEALTH
Your pet’s vision is important for all sorts of different daily activities, from eating to going on walks. Dogs and cats can suffer from a wide range of eye injuries and conditions, including glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, retinal atrophy, and more. Each of these can lead to discomfort, pain, vision impairment, and in some cases, even vision loss. That’s why it’s critical that you seek professional treatment for your pet’s eyes as soon as possible. Our experts can help accurately diagnose your pet’s condition and prescribe appropriate treatment right away.
TYPES OF VISION AND EYE PROBLEMS
There are multiple categories of eye conditions that can affect cats and dogs, and depending on which type your pet is suffering from, treatment will vary.
Hereditary
Dogs and cats can be born with certain eye conditions which can affect their vision, such as an ingrown eyelid.
Trauma
Pets can suffer from injury or trauma to the eyes, including getting hit in the eye with an object or fighting with another animal.
Inflammation
Infectious diseases and inflammatory conditions can cause inflammation which often leads to vision issues.
Congenital
Pets may be born with certain eye conditions or afflictions.
Tumor
Eye and eyelid tumors may be caused by disease.
