Tonometry
At Animal Hospital of Mid County, we utilize tonometry to diagnose glaucoma, a common and painful ocular disease. If left untreated, glaucoma can cause damage to the ocular nerve causing decreased vision and even blindness. Early detection is key in preventing permanent vision changes. If you notice your pet has dilated (enlarged) pupils, clouding of the cornea (the normally clear outer layer of the eye), red or bloodshot eyes, one eye protruding or appearing larger than the other, squinting, or tearing call us immediately.
