Resources for Referring Veterinarians
Animal Eye Clinic values our partnership with primary care veterinarians across Oklahoma and surrounding states. When your patient needs advanced ophthalmic diagnostics or surgery, board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist Dr. Robert M. Gwin is here to help, and we keep you informed with a written report after every examination.

Our role is to support the care you already provide. We see referred patients for conditions such as cataracts, including urgent diabetic cataracts, glaucoma, uveitis, non-healing corneal ulcers, lens luxation, and eyelid disease, and we return your patients to you for ongoing general care.
Refer a Patient
A referral form is not required, but it is helpful during a new patient exam. You can download, print, or complete our referral form online, then send it with your client, fax it, or email it to us along with recent eye-related records and lab work. Visit our Refer a Patient page for full instructions.

Referring Veterinarian FAQs
Is a referral form required?
No, but a completed referral form with recent eye records and lab work is very helpful at the patient’s first exam.
How can I send a referral?
You can send the referral form with your client, fax it, email it, or complete it online through our online referral form.
Will I receive a report after my patient is seen?
Yes. You will receive a written report from Dr. Gwin following each examination of your patient.
Can I consult with Dr. Gwin by phone?
Yes. Call either office to arrange a phone consultation with Dr. Gwin about a specific case.
Do you see emergency referrals?
Yes. Urgent cases are seen the same day. Please call us directly so our team can prioritize your patient.
Should diabetic patients wait for glucose control before referral?
No. Blood glucose does not need to be well controlled before referral, and diabetic cataracts should be evaluated early to prevent lens-induced uveitis and permanent vision loss.
Which office should I refer to?
Refer to whichever office is most convenient for your client. Dr. Gwin is in Tulsa on Mondays and Wednesdays and in Oklahoma City on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
