Frequently Asked Questions

I am worried that my pet’s eyesight is deteriorating – can I come and see you?

We are a specialist referral service, and that means we only see clients who have already seen their own vet for an initial consultation.
Your vet will be able to advise if your pet needs our specialist services.

Why have I been referred?

There are many reasons why your vet might want to refer you to see an eye specialist. In some cases your vet will diagnose the problem and realise that in order to provide the best outome for a particular condition the best option is to refer the case to someone who is a specialist in the field. Many eye operations can be complicated or require specialist equipment to perform. Sometimes eye conditions can be difficult to diagnose as many different conditions can appear similar. Your vet realises that the specialist equipment and expertise available at Perth Veterinary Ophthalmology will provide the best outcome for your pet.
