Dog Cataract Surgery: What to Expect | MedVet

MedVet Medical & Cancer Centers for Pets offers advanced ophthalmology care, ensuring the best treatment for pets with cataracts. Their highly equipped ophthalmology department features board-certified veterinary ophthalmologists supported by skilled veterinary technicians. Cataracts, characterized by opacity in the eye lens, can affect both eyes and result from various causes, including diabetes, genetics, age, inflammation, trauma, and chemical exposure. Dog cataract surgery, the only effective solution, involves a comprehensive ophthalmic exam and specialized tests to assess the severity of the condition. Surgery is scheduled separately from the initial exam, allowing for a thorough pre-surgical evaluation and minimizing anesthesia risks. During surgery, advanced microsurgical techniques are employed to remove cataracts, similar to procedures in human medicine, with a high success rate of 95-98%. Post-surgery, pets are monitored for complications like glaucoma or infection. After surgery, dogs wear an Elizabethan collar to prevent eye rubbing and facilitate healing. Home care involves regular eye drops and warm compresses to maintain comfort. Follow-up appointments, including evaluations at two weeks, 2-3 months, and biannual check-ups, are crucial for ongoing care. Cataracts in dogs typically stem from genetics, aging, or diabetes. Cataract surgeries are often performed in both eyes and once removed, cataracts do not reoccur. Patients are discharged the same day as surgery, ensuring a seamless and effective recovery process. 🐾Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more informative content on pet health!
