Pet Ophthalmology in Raleigh, NC
Ocular health is essential to your pet’s comfort and quality of life. At North Hills Animal Hospital & Resort in Raleigh, NC, we offer diagnostic and therapeutic services for a range of eye conditions in dogs and cats. From minor irritations to complex eye diseases, our team focuses on early detection and effective treatment. If your pet is squinting, pawing at the eye, or showing signs of vision changes, timely evaluation is important. Some eye conditions can progress quickly and may lead to permanent damage if left untreated.
What to Expect During an Eye Exam
A thorough eye examination includes evaluation of the eyelids, cornea, lens, and retina. Diagnostic tests such as fluorescein staining, tonometry, or tear production measurement may be used to help identify the underlying cause of symptoms. Based on the findings, we create a treatment plan focused on relieving discomfort and preserving vision.
Comprehensive Eye Care for Pets
Our ophthalmology services cover a wide spectrum of eye issues, including injuries, infections, and age-related concerns. We also monitor for systemic diseases that can affect the eyes.
We diagnose and treat:
- Eye infections, inflammation, and trauma
- Corneal ulcers, scratches, and dry eye
- Cataracts, glaucoma, and lens disorders
- Eyelid abnormalities and eye-related masses
If your pet requires advanced diagnostics or surgery, we coordinate with trusted veterinary ophthalmology specialists in the Raleigh area.
