Greensboro Vet Eye Examination & Diagnosis
When you bring your pet in for the first time as a new patient, their eye exam will include:
- Fluorescein Staining to evaluate the corneal surface
- Schirmer Tear Testing to assess tear production
- Tonometry to check intraocular pressure
- Indirect Ophthalmoscopy to evaluate the back of the eye
- Slit Lamp Biomicroscopy to evaluate the front of the eye
We may also recommend additional diagnostic testing, including electroretinography (ERG), ocular ultrasound, or gonioscopy for dogs at risk for glaucoma.
Based on the examination and test results, we will create a treatment plan tailored to your pet.
