Tracking vision after glaucoma surgery .

This is our lovely patient Hasse for a post operative check up.

Glaucoma surgery is only the first step. What truly protects vision is careful post-operative tracking.
After surgery, we closely monitor:
• Intraocular pressure (IOP) to ensure it remains controlled
• Optic nerve health, looking for signs of progression
• Visual function and comfort
• Response to medications and healing of surgical implants
Regular follow-ups allow us to detect subtle changes early and adjust treatment before permanent damage occurs.
Because with glaucoma, early detection + continuous monitoring = vision preservation.

Vision is more than just the ability to see.
It affects how animals move, play, interact, and feel safe in their environment.
When vision is compromised, quality of life changes—often silently.
Eye discomfort, reduced vision, or undiagnosed eye disease can lead to stress, confusion, and pain.
Caring for ocular health is caring for overall well-being.
Because seeing clearly means living fully.

What is a cataract?

A cataract occurs when the lens inside the eye becomes cloudy, preventing light from reaching the retina properly. This cloudiness can cause blurred vision, difficulty seeing in low light, or even blindness if left untreated.
In pets, cataracts can develop due to:
• Genetics
• Aging
• Diabetes
• Eye inflammation or trauma
The good news? Cataracts are treatable. With proper evaluation and, when appropriate, surgery, many pets can regain functional vision and quality of life.
👁️ If your pet’s eye looks cloudy or their vision seems off, an ophthalmic exam is essential.

Your Cat’s Vision: What You Should Know

Cats see the world differently than we do—and their eyes play a huge role in how safe and confident they feel at home.

Did you know?
• Cats see very well in low light
• They are excellent at noticing movement
• They don’t see as many colors as humans
• Changes in vision can affect behavior and comfort
Because cats are very good at hiding discomfort, eye problems aren’t always obvious.
Contact a veterinary ophthalmologist if you notice:
• Squinting or holding an eye closed
• Cloudy or bluish eyes
• Redness or discharge
• Bumping into furniture or hesitating in the dark
Early diagnosis can make a big difference in protecting your cat’s vision and quality of life.
We have specialized eye care for the cats you love.

At Animal Eye Iowa, every eye surgery is a perfect blend of precision, expertise, and heart.

Whether your dog needs cataract removal or your cat requires corneal repair, our ophthalmology team uses advanced techniques to restore vision and comfort.
Because seeing the world clearly shouldn’t be a luxury — it should be a gift every pet gets to keep.
