Services
At Animal Eye Care of Pennsylvania, we provide advanced medical and surgical eye care for dogs, cats, and exotic pets. Each patient receives a personalized evaluation and treatment plan designed to preserve vision, relieve pain, and improve quality of life.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
A veterinary ophthalmology exam is a detailed evaluation of your pet’s eyes performed by a board-certified specialist. These exams help detect and treat both common and complex eye diseases before they cause lasting damage.
What to Expect During the Exam
History and Initial Assessment: We begin by reviewing your pet’s medical history and observing their eyes, eyelids, and overall comfort.
Vision & Reflex Testing: Light and movement tests help assess visual response.
Tear Production: A Schirmer tear test measures tear quantity to detect dry eye.
Eye Pressure (IOP): Numbing drops allow safe measurement of intraocular pressure to check for glaucoma.
Corneal Stain Tests: A mild dye reveals ulcers, scratches, or foreign material.
Slit Lamp Examination: A specialized microscope evaluates the cornea, iris, and lens in detail.
Retinal Exam: The back of the eye, including the retina and optic nerve, is inspected for inflammation, detachment, or degeneration. If needed, we may perform additional diagnostic or genetic tests to fully understand your pet’s condition.

Diagnostics
We perform a wide range of diagnostic tests and imaging—similar to those used in human medicine—to identify and monitor eye diseases accurately.
These may include:
• Bloodwork and lab testing
• Ocular ultrasounds
• Tear film and corneal function analysis
• Retinal imaging and electroretinography
• Radiographs (X-rays) or MRI when systemic causes are suspected
Accurate diagnostics allow for early detection, precise treatment, and improved long-term outcomes for your pet.
Surgery
Dr. Mundy performs a full spectrum of veterinary ophthalmic surgeries to correct structural issues and restore vision when medication alone isn’t sufficient.
Common procedures include:
Cataract removal
Corneal grafting and ulcer repair
Eyelid reconstruction or tumor removal
Entropion and ectropion correction
Glaucoma surgery
Ocular prosthesis (evisceration)
Every surgical plan is customized for your pet’s comfort, safety, and recovery.
Common Conditions
Pets can experience many of the same eye problems as people — including cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye, and corneal ulcers. Dr. Mundy’s extensive training and surgical experience enable her to diagnose and manage these and many other conditions with precision and compassion.
