We specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases of the eye and associated structures. We use highly specialized equipment very similar to the equipment used to examine people, only more portable to allow for movement of the patient. The examination equipment typically includes slit lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy, tonometry, and various other modalities used for specific problems. Our operating room is equipped to handle the very specific needs of eye surgery.

You may remember Wink from 2 months ago who came into Animal Eye Care with a blind and painful eye. Now that he’s a little bigger and healthier, today he came in to have his eye removed. Here’s to a quick recovery to the cutest, squishiest little boy with a very cool shark tooth marking.

Applications are open!

Daisy wants to tell you about how lucky she is to have found Animal Eye Care of the Lowcountry!

Daisy was a very high risk anesthesia patient and nearly died after an anesthetic procedure prior to moving to South Carolina.

The AEC doctors worked closely with Dr. Diana Ovbey, MS, DACVAA of Southeast Veterinary Anesthesia Services to safely get her through a much needed procedure this week. Because of their teamwork, Daisy had an uneventful anesthesia and a successful surgery to correct her painful eye condition!

Daisy asked us to let the world know that the doctors at AEC are the best and that they have a plan for the patients who may be higher risk for surgery.

We love Daisy!
