The Eye Clinic for Animals is a specialty clinic providing exceptional veterinary ophthalmology services. We operate out of two state-of-the-art Veterinary Hospitals located in Sydney using the most advanced diagnostic and surgical equipment available.

In our commitment to being world-wide pioneers in animal ophthalmology, we have invested heavily to ensure we remain at the forefront of our field. As world leaders in the area of corneal transplantation, we are proud to own specialised equipment not found in any other private practice in Australia, and possibly the world. We also utilise the most advanced human ophthalmology equipment to ensure the highest level of care for all our patients.

At Eye Clinic for Animals, our mission is to deliver world-class veterinary ophthalmology services that honour the human-animal bond through advanced medical care and genuine compassion.

We are committed to keeping both pet owners and referring veterinarians informed and involved, building relationships founded on trust and transparency.

Guided by a philosophy of excellence without compromise, we foster a supportive, people-first culture because exceptional care for animals starts with valuing the people who make it possible.

To shape the future of veterinary ophthalmology by setting the benchmark for clinical excellence, innovation, and compassionate care.

We strive to be pioneers in advancing eye health for animals through cutting-edge diagnostics, surgical precision, and a relentless commitment to improving quality of life.

We envision a future where specialist care comes together with cultivating workplaces prioritising mental health, investing in people, and uplifting the entire veterinary community.

1. Excellence Without Compromise We hold ourselves to the highest standards in veterinary ophthalmology, offering precision, skill, and compassionate care in every case.

2. Innovation and Leadership We embrace progress and actively pioneer new techniques, technologies, and ideas that advance the field of animal eye care.

3. Compassionate Care We treat every patient as if they were our own, honouring the human-animal bond and making care decisions rooted in empathy and understanding.

4. Collaborative Partnerships We believe in open, honest communication and strong relationships with pet owners, referring vets, and each other, to achieve the best outcomes.

5. Integrity in Action We act with transparency, professionalism, and consistency. Trust is built not just in words, but in the way we show up every day.

6. Supporting our people We invest in our team’s well-being, growth, and sustainability, knowing that a thriving, supported team is key to delivering exceptional care.

While we spend a lot of time caring for family pets such as dogs, cats and birds, we are also highly capable of providing specialty eye care for wildlife and exotic animals. Our team have successfully treated Australian wildlife such as koalas, kangaroos and native birds.

We have also performed eye surgery on more exotic animals including a Bengal tiger, seals, birds and reptiles.

We are a proud primary sponsor of Taronga Conservation Society Australia and provide our ophthalmology services to both Taronga Zoo and Western Plains Zoo, helping to ensure the eye health of a wide range of species, from exotic animals to native wildlife.

Working with these renowned zoos allows us to play a vital role in the care of animals, offering specialised treatments and advanced surgical procedures to address complex eye conditions. Through this collaboration, we contribute to the well-being and conservation of endangered species, helping to preserve biodiversity for future generations.

We are very proud of the work we do at the Eye Clinic for Animals. We are especially proud to be leaders in our field and to be recognised for our ground-breaking work in veterinary ophthalmology.

Some of our achievements include:

• being the first clinic in the world to perform corneal endothelial transplant surgery
• performing the first retinal reattachment surgery in a dog in Australia in September 2016
• developing a radical new technique for eyelid repair, which is now used as one of the mainstays of eyelid surgery – the “lip to lid” transposition
• being featured in an international photo-story by Reuters for our work in assisting koalas caught in the Australian bushfires of 2020
• successfully performing eye-saving sight on a Bengal tiger, which was the first of its kind in Australia

We also offer industry leading diagnostic services including high frequency (UBM) Ultrasound and Electroretinography, and ocular tear film analysis with our recently acquired Tear Film Analyser.

Our team features four highly skilled Veterinary Ophthalmologists with extensive experience in animal eye care, supported by an Ophthalmology Resident and two Ophthalmology Interns. Alongside them, our dedicated team of veterinary nurses ensures that every patient receives attentive, compassionate care throughout their treatment.

We also have an exceptional administrative support team, working behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly and ensuring a seamless experience for both clients and patients.

In addition, we collaborate closely with human ophthalmologists and specialised veterinary anaesthetists, maintaining the highest standards in animal eye health.
