We examine and operate exotic pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, tortoises and turtles, birds, etc., and occasionally get invited to treat exciting wild animals like leopards, chameleons, pythons, etc. 

Every species have their own unique set of ophthalmic problems which need specific treatment. Birds blessed with long life like parrots develop old-age cataracts which in turn leads to blindness; this can now easily get treated by cataract surgery at The Eye Vet. Trauma is the most common cause of blindness in birds that we see in our practice. 

Corneal pathologies like ulcers, lipid deposits are commonly presented in rodents, reptiles, and birds. 

Tortoises usually suffer from Vitamin A deficiency which is presented as swollen eyes. And vitamin A supplementation in time usually reverses the problem.
