Glaucoma is an eye disease that can lead to blindness, characterized by an increase in intraocular pressure that progressively damages the optic nerve.
It is crucial to detect and treat glaucoma at an early stage to prevent irreversible vision loss. Signs of glaucoma may include eye redness, pupil dilation, eye pain, enlargement of the eye, corneal opacity, and decreased vision.
At IVeM, we use advanced and cutting-edge techniques for the treatment of glaucoma in dogs and cats. This includes the implantation of valves inside the eye, which help drain fluid and reduce intraocular pressure, and the application of diode laser to decrease the production of aqueous humor.
Our highly trained team conducts precise diagnostics and customizes a treatment plan for each patient to provide the best possible care.
If you suspect your pet has glaucoma or shows any signs of eye disease, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation at IVeM. Together, we can preserve your loyal friend’s eye health and ensure an optimal quality of life.
