    • Full examination 
    • Tonometry 
    • Slit lamp examination 
    • Tear film assessment 
    • On site cytology

    Specialist equipment is brought along to the appointment by James allowing the practice peace of mind when booking an ophthalmology consultation.

This will be discussed with the owner and costings, where appropriate, provided to the veterinary practice within the report.
