We were honoured to be a sponsor of and attend the first 'Sophie's Ball' with Sophie's Legacy in Canberra this weekend.
Sophie's Legacy is a wonderful charity that highlights the mental health struggles of people in the veterinary industry and provides access to services for individuals that need help.
Dr Matt, Dr Sarah, Nurse Katie and Nurse Sophie had a great time, dressed in 1920s theme and we will continue to support this charity that is very close to all of our hearts.

We are very excited to introduce Toto as our very first cataract surgery at our new clinic location at the University Veterinary Teaching Hospital Sydney!

Toto’s owner noticed his eyes became cloudy quite quickly and he seemed irritated and comfortable so he was quickly referred to us by Dr Tanya at Haberfield Veterinary Hospital . Upon Dr Matts examination, it was noted that Toto had cataracts with secondary uveitis (inflammation inside the eye) Toto was then quickly booked in for a phacoemulsification surgery.

His eye ultrasound showed no retinal detachment but that his left lens was very narrow compared to his right.
The surgery went smoothly and Toto has returned to normal vision and is much more comfortable with his uveitis now under control.

If you have any concerns about your pets vision please do not hesitate to get into contact us via our online self booking system or referral from your regular vet!

How do you do an eye exam on a tiny kitten? By gently holding their head like a little burger 🍔❤️

We are happy to help Canberra Pet Rescue with little Frida and will keep a close 'eye' on her until she is big enough for surgery.

🌼 Update on gorgeous FRIDA 🌼

Frida is the little girl we rescued on Christmas Eve, after she was found around 70cm down a broken drain, in quite a bad way and severely dehydrated. It’s hard to believe how far she’s come in such a short time.

She has now been seen by the wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable Dr Matt from VetVision, a specialist animal ophthalmologist.

Sadly, Frida has multiple eye conditions. Her long-term prognosis is that she may retain some blurry vision in one eye, but will lose the other which currently has no vision. The eye we are hoping to preserve will require major surgery, and even then she still won’t see clearly from it but she will adapt. Our goal is to get her to a place where she is comfortable, pain-free, and able to see at least a bit to help her find her way around.

She’s still too small for surgery just yet, but since coming into care on Christmas Eve, Frida has almost doubled in size — an incredible achievement and a true testament to what love, dedication, and foster care can do.

This little fighter continues to amaze us 💕

Dr Sarah recently had the un-bear-lievable opportunity to perform surgery on a very well-known Canberra local!
If you’ve visited the National Zoo & Aquarium Canberra anytime in the past 15 years, you’ve likely spotted Arataki the Sun Bear exploring his enclosure, enjoying his enrichment toys, and charming everyone with his cheeky personality.
Recently, Arataki developed chronic dry eye and entropion, a condition where the eyelids roll inward and rub against the surface of the eye. Despite his incredible keepers training him to voluntarily accept daily eye drops, the condition progressed to the point where surgery was the best option for his long-term comfort.
On surgery day, Arataki received a gentle injectable sedative, another behaviour he has been trained to accept willingly, showing the amazing level of trust he has in his keepers. Once Arataki was sleepy, his keepers and the zoo’s veterinary team safely entered his enclosure, transported him onto the surgery table, and began his general anaesthesia.
Dr Sarah then performed surgery, including long acting medication implants for his dry eye and an eyelid lift to readjust the hairs rubbing on his eyes. The procedure went smoothly, and Taki recovered safely and comfortably.
Arataki will continue to have regular check-ups with Dr Sarah to ensure his eyes stay healthy. We’re sure he’ll continue being a visitor favourite with his adorable snout, gentle nature, and hilarious antics.
💛🐾 Get well soon, Arataki! Let us know if you’ve spotted him at the zoo!

We are so happy we were able to help Marbles and perform her eyelid corrective surgery. We can't wait to see her get adopted into a new loving furever home!

Marble the cat has experienced one heck of a journey. But thanks to a Guardian Angel, she's spending this Christmas and forever after in a loving family home.

When she arrived we could barely see her eyes. They were badly infected, malformed and we wondered if she could see at all.

There was a very real and troubling period of time when our vets were considering a double enucleation (removing both eyes) to end poor Marble's suffering.

But we did not settle and we did not give up. Generous supporters enabled us to seek multiple opinions from specialists, to execute a remarkable facial reconstructive surgical procedure and today, Marble is just fine with good vision from both eyes!

Happy tales like these don't happen unless a Guardian Angel comes forward and donates. Will you be there to help the next animal in need like Marble?

Have you ever seen a cuter pile of fluff balls? 😍
Meet Little Mittens, a 6-week-old Pomeranian puppy (yes, a dog named Mittens… and the tiniest of her litter!).
Mittens came to see us because her owners noticed cloudiness in both eyes since birth. Between cuddles, Dr. Matt examined her and diagnosed puppy corneal dystrophy, a mostly harmless congenital condition caused by excess fluid in the cornea.
The good news? Her left eye is already clearing on its own, and we expect the right eye to follow. To help the process along, we’ve started her on hypertonic saline cream to draw out the extra fluid, and we’ll check on her progress in a few months.
Little Mittens is expected to grow up with normal vision, and her future is looking bright!
As you can see, Nurse Katie did not want to give up Mittens and the rest of her litter back to their owner!
