๐ถMeet max, a very good boy with a very important message!
Max belongs to one of our lovely vets David in our Carrigaline branch.
He is nearly 8 years old โ the perfect time to start thinking about regular eye pressure checks! ๐พ
Max recently had a tonometry test done, a quick, simple and non-invasive test that measures the pressure inside the eyes. ๐
But why is it so important?
๐น Early detection: Helps identify abnormally high eye pressure, which can be a sign of glaucoma.
๐น Protecting vision: High eye pressure can cause pain and permanent damage to your petโs eyesight if left untreated.
๐น Peace of mind: A quick check can help us spot potential problems early, often before obvious signs appear.
๐น Senior pet care: As our pets get older, regular eye checks become an increasingly important part of keeping them happy and healthy. ๐
Glaucoma can progress quickly, so early detection really matters! Tonometry is a valuable tool in assessing eye health, although it doesnโt detect every eye condition.
