Caring for Your Pet's Eyes - MedVet Ophthalmology

As pet owners, we all know that our furry companions deserve the best care, including proper eye care. Pet eye problems, from common issues like dryness to more serious conditions such as cataracts and glaucoma, can affect our beloved animals. Dr. Terah Webb, a Board-certified Veterinary Ophthalmologist, shares her expertise on the essential aspects of pet eye care.

Early detection is key in maintaining your pet's eye health. Whether you notice a change in eye color, discharge, cloudiness, or behavioral signs like squinting, irritation, or rubbing, seeking care from your veterinarian is crucial. Discovering issues earlier can lead to more effective treatments and better outcomes.

So, how do you spot potential eye issues in your pet? It's a combination of regular annual exams with your veterinarian and watching for any changes in your pet's eye appearance or behavior. Owners play a pivotal role in recognizing signs, and your family veterinarian might spot issues that you haven't noticed.

Dr. Webb also discusses the treatment options available for glaucoma, ranging from medical therapy to surgery, similar to human treatments.
