What does VOSP mean in VETERINARY

Veterinary ophthalmology is a specialty field of veterinary medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases and conditions related to the eye and vision in animals.

Veterinary ophthalmologists specialize in treating all types of domestic pets, including dogs, cats, horses, birds, rabbits, reptiles, and other small mammals.

At a VOSP, we provide comprehensive examinations for detection of eye conditions as well as treatments for common illnesses such as glaucoma and cataracts. We also provide advanced surgical procedures such as corneal transplants and retinal laser therapy.

Depending on your pet's age and any existing or potential health problems or genetic predispositions, it is recommended that senior animals receive yearly exams while younger ones may be seen every two to three years. If you notice any changes in your pet's eyes such as redness, cloudiness or squinting, please call us right away to schedule an appointment.
