Welcome to North East Veterinary Ophthamology
NEVO opened in 2021 to provide a complete ophthalmology service for pets in the North East of Scotland. After many years of working in general practice we were keen to devote our entire time to saving pets’ vision. Our goal is to provide a quality service where pets and owners can feel comfortable and reassured that their pet is receiving the best possible eye care. Many pets have eyes removed where specialist techniques may prevent pain and save sight, so it is always worth asking for advice before taking this final step.
Our Services
Anne-marie and Ivan are both Certificate holders in small animal ophthalmology, and Advanced Practitioners in Veterinary Ophthalmology. This means we have studied this subject to certificate level. We also have access to a range of advanced facilities, allowing more extensive treatment of our ophthalmic patients. On occasion we may refer patients to the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies Hospital For Small Animals for further treatment or a second opinion from our specialist colleagues who are equivalent to consultants in human medicine.
Services available include:
- Comprehensive ophthalmic examination and assessment of animal eyes, including tonometry
- Conjunctival grafting techniques to treat deep corneal ulcers
- Nasal canthoplasty procedure in brachycephalics with corneal pigmentation
- Corneal cross linking
- Cryosurgery for abnormal eyelid hairs
- Lens luxation surgery
- Cataract phacoemulsification surgery and IOL insertion performed by our visiting cataract surgeon, George Peplinski
- ERG for assessment of retinal function
- Corneal sequestrum removal in cats
- Eyelid surgery to correct defects of a congenital origin/subsequent to accident or injury
- Parotid duct transposition
