Ophthalmology
VOAS treats a range of ophthalmic issues such as cherry eye and entropion. We are also equipped with our operating microscope, giving us increased control, enhanced visualisation and improved diagnosis during ophthalmic procedures.
Cherry eye
Cherry eye is a prolapse of the third eyelid gland, commonly seen in young dogs and certain breeds such as Bulldogs, Cocker Spaniels and Beagles.
It appears as a pink or red swelling in the inner corner of the eye. Surgical management is recommended to when this is identified to preserve tear production and help prevent long-term problems such as dry eye.
Treatment is usually surgical. At VOAS, the most common procedure is pocket techniques.
Entropion
Entropion is a condition where the eyelid rolls inward, causing the surrounding hair to rub against the surface of the eye. This can lead to discomfort, excessive tearing, inflammation, and corneal ulceration.
Treatment is surgical and aims to restore normal eyelid position, relieve irritation, and protect the cornea. We offer a surgical repair for entropion at VOAS.
Palpebral cysts
A palpebral cyst is a benign fluid-filled cysts, arising from the glands of the eyelid margin.
Here, we used our operating microscope to aid us in removing a palpebral cyst from a dog's eye.
The operating microscope allowed magnified and illuminated vision for this precision surgery. The photos shown here show how clear and detailed our microscope is. This procedure was very successful, as seen in the photos.
