Pet Eye Care Brochures for Clients and Veterinarians
Animal Eye Clinic offers printable brochures that explain common eye conditions and procedures in clear, simple language. Veterinarians can share them with clients who are being referred for cataract evaluation, and pet owners can use them to learn more about their pet’s diagnosis before or after a visit with Dr. Gwin.

Diabetic Cataracts
A high percentage of diabetic dogs develop cataracts, sometimes within one to two weeks. This brochure explains why early evaluation matters, why blood sugar does not need to be fully controlled before referral, and how cataract-induced inflammation can threaten the eye if treatment is delayed.
Cataracts & Cataract Surgery
This brochure covers what a cataract is, how it affects vision, and what to expect from phacoemulsification surgery, a one-day outpatient procedure with a success rate of about 90 to 95 percent in dogs.

Brochure FAQs
Who are these brochures for?
They are written for pet owners and can be shared by referring veterinarians with clients whose pets need an eye evaluation.
Can I print the brochures?
Yes. Each brochure is a PDF that you can view online or print at home or in your clinic.
Why is early evaluation important for diabetic cataracts?
Diabetic cataracts can form and mature quickly, and the inflammation they cause can lead to glaucoma or retinal detachment, so early evaluation gives the best surgical outcome.
Is cataract surgery an overnight procedure?
No. Cataract surgery is a one-day outpatient procedure, and most pets go home the same afternoon.
Where can I find the referral form?
The referral form is available on our Refer a Patient page and our Online Documents page.
