Ophthalmology is the specific area of pet care involving treatment of an animal’s eyes. For certain breeds, this service also involves the examination and certification of breeding
dogs to verify their eyes are in good condition. At AAA Vet Clinic, we offer pet ophthalmology in Mount Isa.
Eye examinations require specific equipment, such as an ophthalmoscope (a magnifying light to look into the eye). Our veterinarians can also use a special dye called fluorescein which fluoresces a green/yellow colour under UV light to identify any damage to the cornea (the clear layer at the front of the eye). We may also use a tonometer to check the pressure inside your pet’s eye which is raised with a condition called glaucoma. Many eye conditions can be treated medically, however, specific conditions may require surgery.
If you’d like to book a service with our Mount Isa vet eye surgeons, contact us today. You can reach us on

Emergency and general
health check services are also available.
