Cataract Surgery for Dogs & Cats in Plano, TX
At Animal Eye Specialists in Plano, Texas, we perform advanced cataract surgery to help restore vision in pets affected by lens opacity. Cataracts can lead to significant vision loss or blindness, but with timely surgery, many pets regain functional sight and a better quality of life.
When Is Cataract Surgery Recommended?
Cataract surgery is typically advised when the cataract interferes with vision and the rest of the eye is healthy. Common causes include aging, genetics, diabetes, or trauma. Our ophthalmology team will conduct a full pre-surgical evaluation—including electroretinography (ERG) and ocular ultrasound—to determine if your pet is a candidate.
Our Surgical Technique and Success Rates
We use phacoemulsification, the same ultrasound-based technique used in human cataract surgery, to safely remove the clouded lens. In most cases, we implant an artificial intraocular lens to help restore clear vision. With proper post-op care, most pets adjust quickly and return to normal activities within days.
