Prompt diagnosis and treatment can prevent discomfort and potential vision loss, ensuring your pet stays happy and healthy.

  • Cherry Eye
  • Non-Healing Corneal Ulcers
  • Eyelid Mass Removals
  • Entropion & Ectropion (Eyelid Abnormalities)

    …and more.

Why Choose Us for Pet Ophthalmology?

At our Toronto animal hospital, Dr. Delgado provides convenient in-house pet ophthalmology consultations, eliminating the need for a referral from your primary veterinarian. Our services are more affordable than traditional specialty clinics, making expert eye care accessible. Using advanced diagnostic tools, your cat and dog will receive personalized, attentive care in a familiar setting, with appointments conveniently available during Dr. Lucia Delgado’s regular clinic hours.

What are signs my cat or dog might need an eye exam?

Common signs include redness, discharge, squinting, excessive tearing, cloudiness, pawing at the eyes, visible changes in the eyelid or eye surface, or changes in their vision or navigation. If you notice any of these symptoms of an eye infection or disease, it’s best to schedule an exam.
