Expert Eye Care for Your Pets
At Monier Veterinary Clinic, we understand that your pet’s eye health is essential for their quality of life.
Why Eye Health Matters
Your pet’s eyes are not only windows to their soul but also indicators of their overall health. From minor irritations to serious conditions, early identification and treatment of eye issues can prevent discomfort, vision loss, and long-term complications.
Common Eye Conditions We Treat
Our expertise includes diagnosing and managing a wide range of eye ailments, including:
Dry Eye (Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca)
A painful condition where tear production is reduced, leading to redness, discharge, and potential vision loss. Early detection allows for better management and prevention of progression.
Conjunctivitis
Inflammation of the eye’s mucous membrane, often caused by allergies, infections, or irritants.
Eye Injuries
Scratches, corneal erosions, or ulcers, often requiring prompt treatment to prevent infection and promote healing.
Eyelid Disorders
Issues such as ectropion, entropion, and tumours that can cause irritation or block vision, which are managed through corrective surgery.
Glaucoma
A serious condition causing increased eye pressure, which can lead to blindness if not treated early.
Uveitis
Inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, requiring immediate attention to reduce pain and prevent damage.
Our Diagnostic and Treatment Tools
Monier Veterinary Clinic is equipped with advanced tools to support accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of eye conditions, including:
- Digital Ophthalmoscope: Detailed examination of the retina and optic nerve for signs of disease or damage.
- Tonometry: Measuring intraocular pressure to identify or rule out glaucoma.
- Corneal Staining: Detecting scratches, ulcers, or erosions on the cornea.
- Microscopic Evaluation: Assessing eyelid tumours, discharge, or foreign objects under high magnification.
For more complex cases, we collaborate with trusted ophthalmology specialists who can perform advanced diagnostics or procedures at our clinic or theirs.
