Demystifying Your Pet’s Eye Examination: What To Expect


If your pet is having eye or vision problems, it should be seen by a veterinarian immediately, but routine eye examinations are part of regular physical examinations. Tests performed on your pet’s eyes will vary depending on the situation, but in all cases, your veterinarian or a veterinary ophthalmology specialist will be examining the pet’s eyes and surrounding tissues. These tests are also generally non-invasive and painless. On this show, Dr. Caryn Plummer, a veterinary ophthalmology specialist, will explain what’s involved in some of the routine tests performed and will share what to expect if your pet needs an eye exam, in addition to what veterinarians are looking for in their assessment.
