Ophthalmic Care
Ophthalmology is the branch of veterinary medicine focused on the health and treatment of your pet’s eyes. At Broadford Vet Clinic, we provide comprehensive eye care, from routine examinations to advanced medical and surgical treatment, ensuring your pet maintains clear vision and eye health.
Eye Examinations
Our veterinarians use specialised equipment to perform thorough eye assessments, including:
Ophthalmoscope
A magnifying light to examine the interior of the eye.
Fluorescein Dye
Highlights damage to the cornea under UV light.
Tonometer
Measures intraocular pressure, helping detect glaucoma.
Many eye conditions can be managed medically, but some require surgery to restore function or prevent further damage.
