Meet our Bay Area patient, Little Bear. This rambunctious little guy underwent cataract surgery in July. These are his before and after photos. We are happy to report that Little Bear is recovering like a champ, thanks to Dr. Wagner and Little Bear’s wonderful owner bringing him in for his scheduled post-surgery rechecks.

Dr. Herrmann performing cataract surgery on our tiny patient Zoe.

Cataract surgery is typically performed when vision is significantly impaired (i.e. blindness occurs). The two most common forms of cataracts in dogs are:

1. breed-related, suspected to be caused by inherited genetic defects, and

2. changes in lens metabolism caused by diabetes mellitus.

Surgery can be performed in one or both eyes. There is an ideal "stage" of cataracts that improves the chance of a favorable outcome–the cataract is dense enough to cause vision problems, but is not too advanced to have caused intraocular structural damage. Should the cataracts be very advanced, the lens starts to shrink and scar, or the lens may even break open. This can result in additional risk of surgical complications due to increasing inflammation in the eye, and also reduces the chance of being able to place a prosthetic lens into the eye.

Successful cataract surgery can improve the quality of life for our patients by returning functional vision. It is so rewarding to see our patients being able to enjoy chasing their ball, catching their favorite treats, or seeing the squirrels across the street once again.

Meet our Bay Area clinic patient, Milo! Milo is a 3-year-old French Bulldog being treated by Dr. Wagner for a Lens Subluxation.

Lens subluxation in dogs is a partial detachment of the lens from the ciliary body, caused by the breakdown of the zonules that hold the lens in place. The lens can wobble or "slip" out of position, but it's not completely dislocated.

Lens subluxation can be caused by inherited defects, chronic inflammation, or glaucoma. It most often occurs in terrier breeds, but any breed can be affected, and it typically happens between 3–6 years of age.

Some veterinary ophthalmologists prefer to perform surgery before the lens completely dislocates to avoid complications. These complications can include blinding complications, such as bleeding into the eye, retinal detachment, and persistence of glaucoma.

Say hello to Eva! She is a Campbell Road patient who was diagnosed with glaucoma.
Glaucoma affects both eyes and ultimately leads to vision loss and can prove to be uncomfortable when the intraocular pressure elevates. We maintained vision as long as possible with treatment until a decision was made to remove the eye to give Eva some relief. This procedure is called an Enucleation.
Eva’s mom is happy to report she is still her happy self just a little more comfortable. We love our visits with Eva as she is always a sweet and happy girl and blesses our lobby with beautiful songs.
