Cold as ice? More like cold as CRYOTHERAPY!

In just 30 seconds, watch us tackle some tiny hairs that can cause BIG problems!

Distichia are abnormal eyelashes that emerge from the meibomian gland openings along the eyelid margin. When these hairs rub against the cornea, they can cause chronic irritation, excessive tearing, and even painful corneal ulcers.

The solution? A little freezing and a little plucking!

Using a procedure called cryoepilation, we precisely freeze the hair follicles to destroy them and minimize regrowth, then carefully remove the offending lashes.

Tiny hairs. Precise treatment. A whole lot of relief! 🐶💙

Sometimes eyes are cloudy for reasons other than cataracts…👁️

Meet Mork, a 7-year-old Shih Tzu with a remarkable before-and-after transformation!

Mork developed severe corneal edema due to corneal endothelial disease. Not only was the cloudiness beginning to compromise his vision, but fluid-filled corneal bullae were repeatedly rupturing, causing painful corneal ulcers.

To help restore his comfort and preserve his vision, we performed a superficial keratectomy and Gundersen conjunctival flap procedure. Because of the severity of his disease, we treated both the dorsal and ventral cornea.

Just 7 weeks later, the results speak for themselves! 🙌

Mork is seeing better, feeling better, and enjoying life with a much more comfortable eye!

We work hard. We play hard. And we couldn’t do what we do without this incredible team!

We took a little break from saving vision to enjoy some thrills at Epic Universe during our recent trip to Orlando for the ACVO conference!

With this week being National Veterinary Technician Week, we couldn’t think of a better time to recognize the extraordinary technicians and assistants who make The Eye Vets what it is today.

Their drive keeps us moving. Their efficiency keeps us on schedule. And their compassion and dedication allow us to care for more patients each day than we ever could without them.

They work tirelessly behind the scenes, often without the recognition they deserve, and the impact they have on our patients, our clients, and our practice is immeasurable.

We ask a lot of this team, and they consistently rise to the occasion. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built together and even more grateful for the people who make it all possible.

Happy Vet Tech Week to the absolute best! ❤️

And yes, when you work this hard, you’ve earned a little time to play! 🎢

A full-circle moment nearly 15 years in the making. 🥹👁️

This week, Dr. Bergstrom had the incredible opportunity to work alongside one of his greatest mentors, Dr. Ralph Hamor.

What many people don’t know is that Dr. Bergstrom spent nearly all of veterinary school planning to become an equine veterinarian. That all changed during his final year when Dr. Hamor recognized his strengths in ophthalmology and encouraged him to consider a different path.

That one conversation changed everything.

With Dr. Hamor’s continued encouragement and support, Dr. Bergstrom pursued ophthalmology and eventually became a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist.

Fast-forward to this week, and the student and mentor were working side by side again—this time at The Eye Vets.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that The Eye Vets might not exist today without Dr. Hamor. We are incredibly grateful for his mentorship, friendship, and the lasting impact he has had on Dr. Bergstrom’s career.

Sometimes the greatest influence we can have on someone is simply recognizing their potential before they recognize it themselves. ❤️

And on a completely unrelated note… DOES THIS GUY EVER AGE?! 😂

To us, it’s just a walk, a ball, a familiar face.
To them, it’s their whole world. ❤️👁️

Their world is worth seeing.
Their vision is worth protecting. 🐾

👁️ See that brown plaque? It was the clue we needed…

This French bulldog’s deep corneal ulcer had us concerned, but the pigmented plaque made fungal keratitis jump to the top of our list. 🔬

Cytology delivered the answer: fungal hyphae. 🍄

The species wasn’t confirmed, but that brown pigmentation had us suspicious of Curvularia.

Treatment? Keratectomy + conjunctival graft + topical antifungal therapy.

👀 Would fungal keratitis have been on your differential list?
