Why we do what we do…

Welcome to Animal Eye Clinic — proud specialists in veterinary ophthalmology serving the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex for over forty years. We believe every animal deserves to see their world clearly, and we treat your cherished companions with the focused expertise they need.

As a dedicated specialty referral practice, our clinics operate as a seamless extension of your primary veterinarian’s care. We do not provide general or ancillary health services; instead, our facilities are purpose-built to deliver advanced ocular care. Our fully equipped suites and experienced team offer a comprehensive range of cutting-edge services, including:

  • Micro-incisional cataract surgery

  • Corneal repair and reconstruction

  • Advanced glaucoma diagnostics and surgical management

  • Eyelid reconstruction and corrective procedures

  • Intraocular prostheses

  • Targeted laser therapies

Vision-threatening eye conditions demand precise, timely, and deeply committed intervention. To ensure optimal outcomes, we prioritize ongoing education and advanced training for our staff, constantly refining our team’s specialized skills. Our goal is to elevate the quality of life for every patient while providing informative, supportive, and compassionate care to pet owners and referring veterinarians alike.

If your pet needs specialized eye care, trust a referral practice with four decades of focused experience and a bold dedication to preserving vision.

What is a board certified veterinary ophthalmologist?

When your pet faces complex eye conditions, they deserve care from a specialist with the highest level of training. Our team includes Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO).

About the ACVO Established in 1970, the ACVO is the official specialty board sanctioned by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). It sets the rigorous standards for advanced training, residency programs, and board certification in veterinary ophthalmology.

The ACVO’s mission is simple and uncompromising: promote and ensure the highest level of professional competency in animal eye care. To earn Diplomate status, veterinarians undergo intense specialty training, complete demanding residency programs, and pass comprehensive, high-stakes board examinations.

Where Do ACVO Specialists Practice? ACVO Diplomates apply their expertise in two primary arenas:

·         Private Practice: Roughly one-third of ACVO Diplomates work in private specialty clinics. These specialists take complex, referral-only cases from general practitioners and provide advanced diagnostics, surgical care, and long-term management for family pets.

·         Academic & Research Institutions: About two-thirds serve at universities and teaching hospitals. There, they train future veterinarians, lead clinical and laboratory research, and run specialty ophthalmology services that handle the most challenging cases.

Why Choose an ACVO Diplomate? Partnering with an ACVO Diplomate means your pet’s eye care is delivered by a clinician who meets the gold standard of veterinary ophthalmology—extensive training, proven competency, and a commitment to excellence. When vision and comfort are on the line, choose the specialist who’s earned the title.

We believe good health should feel friendly, not overwhelming. That’s why we blend reliable science with everyday practicality.
