Resources

There are a number of sites on the internet, which contain information about animal eyes. Below are several sites, which will assist you in the care and treatment of your pet’s eyes.

American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists

The American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists advances the quality of medicine through certification of veterinarians who demonstrate excellence in veterinary ophthalmology. The ACVO is an approved veterinary specialty organization of the American Board of Veterinary Specialties and is recognized by the American Veterinary Medical Association.

CORL offers a full line of services including clinical comparative ophthalmology, ocular pathology, electrodiagnostics, cornea/anterior segment, ocular immunology, fundus evaluation, vitreoretinal surgery, ocular pharmacology, ocular toxicology, and molecular biology.

I-Med Animal Health

Our veterinary eye care division is dedicated to providing the general and ophthalmic veterinary communities the tools to help diagnose, prevent and treat eye disorders in animals.

OFA Eye Certification Registry

The purpose of the OFA Eye Certification Registry (ECR) is to provide breeders with information regarding canine eye diseases so that they may make informed breeding decisions in an effort to produce healthier dogs. ECR certifications will be performed by board certified (ACVO) veterinary ophthalmologists. Regardless of whether owners submit their ECR exam forms to the OFA for “certification,” all ECR exam data is collected for aggregate statistical purposes to provide information on trends in eye disease and breed susceptibility. Clinicians and students of ophthalmology, as well as interested breed clubs and individual breeders and owners of specific breeds, will find this useful.
