Understanding the Complexity of Fees

The complexity and quantity of all of the different eye problems, within a variety of species, and breeds is enormous. The eye is one of the most complex organs in the body. Sometimes eyes problems are caused  by trauma, whereas others are purely eye diseases, and yet other eye diseases extend from diseases of the body. At times, these problems can only be diagnosed by the ophthalmologist using specialized ophthalmic equipment, with years of advanced training and experience.

We recognize that having a pet with an eye disease can be stressful and emotional. This is due to the love for your pet and the concern about the potential financial impact for your pets eye care. Our goal is to provide you and your pet a relaxed, caring, unpressured environment to diagnose your pets eye problems and discuss the findings in an intimate atmosphere.

The Doctor's philosophy is that it is important for her to be present in the examination and perform all of the examination testing. This allows her to become well acquainted with you and your pet, determine the fewest tests necessary to diagnose the eye problems, and to determine the accuracy of the test results with regards to your pets temperament. For example, if your pet is very excited or if there is pressure on the neck veins at the time of the testing, the intraocular pressure test will read higher than usual, which can be misleading for a diagnosis unless this is taken into account by the doctor. The time spent with you and your pet helps her to provide the best personalized eye care and form a relationship with you and your pet.
