Cataracts
We can diagnose cataracts and assess a patient’s suitability for cataract surgery, however we do not currently offer a cataract surgery service. Any patient requiring cataract surgery will be referred to Pet Eye Care in Hamilton. We will provide a detailed examination and work-up to ensure the patients are good candidates for cataract surgery before their journey North. We will also provide a post-operative monitoring service for these patients following surgery.
