Ophthalmology Service
September brings a brand-new service to Eden Vet Referrals in the form of Ophthalmology.
Just like humans, pets can develop eye conditions and injuries that require expert care. Our ophthalmology service is dedicated to diagnosing and treating eye problems in pets ensuring your pet’s vision and overall eye health remain in good health.
From cataracts and glaucoma to eyelid and surface problems, our ophthalmologist has the expertise and tools to provide thorough treatment plans tailored to your pet’s specific needs.
Our Ophthalmologist is supported by highly trained veterinary nurses providing round the clock post-operative and follow up patient care.
If you suspect your pet’s eyesight may be affected, please speak to your regular vet who may choose to refer your pet for further investigations. Alternatively, if your pet has already been referred to Eden Veterinary Referrals, please contact us via 01270 439277 should you have any questions.
We aim to work closely with referring vets to ensure clear communication, timely updates, and ongoing support. Referrals can be submitted directly via our website or by contacting our team.
