Ophthalmology

Providing diagnostics & treatment for all types of ophthalmic conditions

Our ophthalmology service aims to provide a prompt and efficient referral service for a wide range of medical and surgical ocular conditions in companion and exotic animals.

The presence of on-site specialists in anaesthesia, dermatology, diagnostic imaging, internal medicine, neurology and soft tissue surgery, is a great benefit and allows a comprehensive approach to most conditions involving the eye.
