What signs suggest my pet has an eye problem?

Signs include cloudy or opaque eye, eye discharge, squinting or pawing at the eye, redness, swelling, or any sudden change in vision. Seek veterinary attention promptly as some conditions progress rapidly. Tel. 02-079-9999

Can cataracts in dogs be cured?

Yes – phacoemulsification cataract surgery can restore vision in dogs with mature cataracts. Early evaluation is important to ensure the retina is still functional before surgery. Tel. 02-079-9999

Is glaucoma painful for pets?

Yes – glaucoma causes significant ocular pain. Pets may show redness, a dilated pupil, cloudiness, or lethargy. It is an emergency requiring same-day treatment to preserve vision.

How often should brachycephalic breeds have their eyes checked?

Short-nosed breeds (Bulldogs, Pugs, Persian cats, etc.) are at higher risk for eye problems. Annual ophthalmological examinations are recommended, or sooner if any signs develop. Tel. 02-079-9999

What is electroretinography (ERG)?

ERG measures the electrical response of the retina to light – used to assess retinal function before cataract surgery and to diagnose progressive retinal atrophy. It is performed under sedation.

Our center is fully equipped to perform advanced cataract surgeries for all types of pets, ensuring they regain clear vision and a better life.

Conditions & Specialized Care

Cataracts & Glaucoma

Comprehensive diagnosis and advanced surgical management of cataracts and intraocular pressure control for glaucoma.

Corneal Disorders

Specialized treatment for corneal ulcers, perforations, keratitis (inflammation), and corneal dystrophy or degeneration.

Retinal Diseases

Diagnosis of Retinal Degeneration (SARDS/PRA) and various hereditary eye disorders.

Eyelid & Structural Abnormalities

Corrective surgery for eyelid deformities (Entropion/Ectropion) and Cherry Eye (prolapsed third eyelid gland).

Chronic Cloudiness or Redness

Identifying the root causes of visual impairment, chronic ocular inflammation, and uveitis.

Diagnostic Services

To ensure the most detailed and accurate diagnosis, our center utilizes advanced diagnostic technologies that meet the same medical standards as human ophthalmology

Slit Lamp Biomicroscopy : A high-magnification diagnostic tool used to examine the ocular structures in microscopic detail, allowing veterinarians to clearly visualize the internal components of the eye.
Electroretinography (ERG) : Specifically used to evaluate retinal function, crucial for diagnosing early-stage retinal degeneration and assessing retinal health prior to cataract surgery.
Ocular Ultrasound : Used to inspect the internal structures of the globe, such as lens luxation or intraocular tumors that cannot be visualized through conventional methods.
Tonometry & Schirmer Tear Test : Essential for measuring intraocular pressure and tear production to rapidly diagnose glaucoma and Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (Dry Eye).

Medical Care & Treatment

We are committed to restoring your pet’s vision through advanced, safe, and modern therapeutic techniques.

Phacoemulsification : A cutting-edge technique utilizing high-frequency ultrasonic waves to emulsify cataracts. This minimally invasive procedure requires an incision of only 3 mm, resulting in shorter surgical time, significantly reduced complication rates, and a high success rate in vision restoration.
Comprehensive Ophthalmic Surgery : Our surgical expertise encompasses eyelid reconstruction, corneal surgery, laser therapy for glaucoma, intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, and orbital prosthetics (artificial eyes).
Personalized Treatment Plans : Our ophthalmologists design tailored treatment protocols based on each pet’s age, breed, and physical condition, supported by a structured follow-up system for long-term care.
