Ophthalmology

Looking after eyes is a part of pet care. As owners, you look out for common signs; red, partially shut, painful or discharging eyes, which don't usually get better on their own.

TVC's eye guru, Anna Goulter, has lots of further study in Ophthalmology, and usually up to the eyeballs in some of our trickier eye cases! Anna can be found at our Hawera clinic.

 

  

 

This little dog had been scratched in the eye by an angry cat. The cat's nail had penetrated through the cornea, and the iris had come forward to plug the gap. After some very intricate surgery, Anna persuaded the iris to go back inside the eye and closed the cornea with tiny stitches.

  

 

 

Our next case was a pretty little dog, with a very sore eye. Cindy's good looks were spoiled, by a patch of hair growing directly out of her eyeball. Apart from being unsightly, these can be irritating as the hair constantly wafts across the surface of the eye. Anna managed to whittle out the offending tissue with some ultra-fine surgery and her eye is looking much better now!
