Every visit begins with a complete ophthalmic examination of both eyes using slit lamp biomicroscopy and an indirect ophthalmoscope. When needed, Dr. Gwin adds a fluorescein stain to detect corneal ulcers, a Schirmer tear test to diagnose dry eye, and tonometry to measure eye pressure for glaucoma. Before cataract surgery, electroretinography (ERG) and ocular ultrasound are used to confirm the retina is healthy and in position.
Veterinary Eye Surgery
Dr. Gwin performs a wide range of ophthalmic surgical procedures using an operating microscope and precise microsurgical instruments. These include phacoemulsification cataract surgery with foldable intraocular lens implants, intracapsular lens removal for lens luxation, cherry eye repositioning, entropion correction, cryosurgery for distichia and ectopic cilia, full thickness resection of eyelid tumors, and corneal repair for ocular trauma. You can see some of these procedures on our Surgery Videos page.
Medical Management of Eye Disease
Many eye conditions are best managed with medication rather than surgery. We create individualized treatment plans for uveitis, episcleritis, pigmentary keratitis, dry eye, and corneal dystrophy, and we monitor your pet closely with follow-up visits.
Safe Anesthesia and Pain Management
We know general anesthesia is a major concern for pet owners. We use modern anesthesia protocols and surgical monitoring for every procedure and make pain relief a priority during and after surgery so your pet recovers as comfortably as possible.
