Ophthalmology

Welcome to PASE Ophthalmology

PASE’s and NorthStar Vets board-certified veterinary ophthalmologists and support staff bring advanced expertise and state-of-the-art diagnostics to every case. Whether your pet has a sudden eye emergency, a chronic condition, or requires routine ocular assessment, we’re equipped to provide comprehensive care—from dog or cat to other small mammals.

What we treat

We manage a full spectrum of eye health issues, including (but not limited to):

• Corneal ulcers, scratches, and trauma to the eye surface
• Eye infections and inflammations (conjunctivitis, uveitis)
• Cataracts, lens luxation, glaucoma
• Retinal disease and inherited ocular conditions
• Eyelid abnormalities, tear-film disorders
• Emergency ocular injuries or acute vision loss

Services we provide

• Thorough ophthalmic examination and diagnostics (slit-lamp, tonometry, advanced imaging)
• Medical and surgical management of eye conditions
• Laser therapies for specific ocular diseases
• Partnering with our other specialty services (e.g., Neurology, Internal Medicine) when systemic disease affects vision
• Post-operative care and vision rehabilitation support

What to expect at your appointment

When you arrive, our ophthalmology team will review your pet’s ocular history and general health. We’ll perform a detailed eye examination and discuss any diagnostics needed. We’ll then review treatment options, potential outcomes, and the expected timeline—making sure you’re part of the decision-making process. We collaborate closely with your primary veterinarian or referring doctor to ensure continuity of care.

​​​​​​​Our commitment to you and your pet

Just like all services at PASE, our Ophthalmology department is rooted in our mission: to set the standard in patient-centered and community-based veterinary care. You can trust that we’ll treat your pet as a valued member of our extended family—providing not only advanced eye care, but compassion, clarity, and respect every step of the way.
