What we do
The Ophthalmology Service at New Bolton Center provides services to all large animal species. Complete ophthalmic examinations can help determine what medical or surgical treatment options are recommended. Surgical procedures offered include corneal surgery, implants and injections for uveitis and glaucoma, laser for corpora nigra cysts and glaucoma, excision and laser treatments for cancer, and cataract surgery. Many of these surgical procedures can be performed under standing sedation.
