About Us
Our Mission
Animal Eye Care of Pennsylvania is an independently owned specialty clinic providing world-class veterinary ophthalmology from two convenient locations in King of Prussia and Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Our mission is to preserve vision whenever possible and relieve pain and discomfort when vision cannot be restored. We provide compassionate, advanced eye care for dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, and exotic pets—always delivered with empathy and clinical excellence.
What is a Veterinary Ophthalmologist
A veterinary ophthalmologist is a veterinarian who has completed years of advanced specialty training focused entirely on the eyes and vision. After earning their veterinary degree, these doctors complete a 3–4 year ophthalmology residency and must pass a rigorous board certification exam to become Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (DACVO).
Board-certified specialists like Dr. Mundy diagnose and treat a wide range of eye conditions—such as cataracts, glaucoma, corneal ulcers, retinal disease, and eyelid abnormalities—using advanced medical and surgical techniques. Their expertise ensures your pet receives the highest standard of eye care available.
