The lens is an important part of the eye’s anatomy that allows the eye to focus on objects at varying distances.

What happens when it falls out of place?! 😱👇

The lens in your pet’s eye is a clear structure that sits behind the pupil and iris, helping to focus light rays onto the retina for vision. In some pets, the lens can become unstable, causing lens subluxation, or fall out of place entirely, causing lens luxation. Lens luxations can result in eye

Wondering what to expect during the complimentary screening eye exam for your Service or Working Animal? Our board certified veterinary ophthalmologist will examine the eyes to determine if there are any abnormalities. The aim is to identify problems early. Some abnormalities might need to be treated to prevent or delay progression. Other sight-threatening problems such as retinal disease, cataracts or glaucoma can be identified. The exam requires no sedation, requires minimal restraint, is non-painful, non-stressful and usually takes 10-25 minutes. 👁️ 🐕‍🦺
