Specialized Eye Care to Protect Vision and Ocular Health

Vision plays a crucial role in the health and well-being of all animals. For horses, good eyesight is essential not only for daily life but also for performance in competitive and working environments. Similarly, healthy vision in livestock such as cattle, goats, and sheep supports feeding behavior, safety, and overall productivity. Our board-certified ophthalmologists have advanced training in all aspects of large animal eye care and are dedicated to diagnosing, managing, and treating a wide range of ocular diseases and injuries across species.

How we can help:

  • Laceration repairs (eyelid, cornea)
  • Medical and surgical management of corneal ulceration (conjunctival and other grafts, diamond burr debridement)
  • Cataract extraction (phacoemulsification)
  • Laser therapy for glaucoma and iris disease
  • Ocular tumor treatment, including cryosurgery and strontium 90 irradiation therapy
  • Ocular and orbital ultrasonography
  • Equine breed screening eye exams
  • Diagnosis, medical and surgical management for equine recurrent uveitis
