Oftalmología
At La Arboleda Veterinary Hospital, we have a team specialized in veterinary ophthalmology.
Eye disorders are one of the main causes of veterinary visits. With companion animals, trauma, eye and eyelid infections, birth or breed disorders are pretty common. On many occasions, it’s necessary to pass treatment urgently, if we don’t want the ocular function to be altered. In our center, we give special importance to early detection of any type of alterations that may occur in your animal’s eyes in order to establish a proper diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to obtain a speedy recovery.
Many of the diseases that affect eyes and eyelids can cause irreversible damage or even loss of the eye itself. In addition, eye disorders can be a symptom of very important systemic diseases such as arterial hypertension, leishmaniosis, feline leukemia, coagulation problems, etc.
