About Us

• he ophthalmologists and staff at Animal Eye Center look forward to meeting you and your pet. We work closely with your referring veterinarian and will keep them updated with a faxed referral letter sent out on the day of your appointment and by phone updates as needed. If you are a new patient, you can download and print your client information sheet. Filling it out prior to your visit will help us to create a new patient record when you arrive at our office. Please try to include all medications including herbal medications your pet is currently taking and any information about recent diagnosis or treatment for other medical conditions. Please call your veterinarian after you have made your appointment and ask them to fax pertinent medical records and blood tests to our office at (916) 632-9138. Your pet will receive a complete eye examination by one of our veterinary ophthalmologists. We will perform slit lamp biomicroscopy and indirect ophthalmoscopy examinations to view the entire structure of the eye. In addition, we may perform other diagnostic tests including a Schirmer tear test, Tono-Pen intraocular pressure reading, fluorescein stain or an ocular ultrasound. In some cases, additional diagnostic testing and blood analysis may be indicated to properly diagnose and treat your pet. For additional information and to set up your appointment, please call our office at (916) 624-4364. If you or your veterinarian thinks it is an emergency that your pet be seen immediately, we will make every attempt to give you a daytime emergency appointment. Our staff can help determine if your pet has an emergency condition.
