Gonioscopy Eye Exams for Pets in Plano, TX
Gonioscopy is a specialized eye examination used to evaluate the drainage angle inside your pet’s eye. At Animal Eye Specialists in Plano, we use this diagnostic test to assess your pet’s risk for glaucoma, a serious condition that can lead to blindness if not treated early.
Why Gonioscopy Is Important
The drainage angle, also known as the iridocorneal angle, plays a crucial role in maintaining normal eye pressure. If this angle is abnormally narrow or blocked, fluid can build up in the eye, increasing intraocular pressure. Gonioscopy helps us detect these abnormalities before symptoms develop.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Gonioscopy is performed using a special lens and magnification under light sedation or topical anesthesia. It’s a safe, low-stress procedure for most pets and allows our veterinary ophthalmologists to examine the internal eye structures in detail.
