A veterinary eye clinic on Tanjong Katong Road, where the vets are ophthalmology specialists rather than general practice. The team is led by Dr Gladys Boo, who started in small animal practice before training as an eye specialist. The website says it does medical and surgical eye care for dogs, cats and horses, and smaller pets such as birds and rabbits. Cataract surgery, entropion surgery and eye pressure care are the work most often mentioned by owners.
Owners say the team is gentle and patient, including with animals that do not like being held. One said a cat was helped through glaucoma and is now comfortable and free of pain. Another described a dog that is wary of strangers, and said the staff kept him calm through the examination. Several owners say they are grateful the team saved their pet's eyesight. The website warns that emergencies can mean a wait, so it helps to allow time.
Practical details from the website: arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the appointment for check-in, keep dogs on a leash or cats in a carrier, and bring a list of current medicines and any medical records or test results. If a pet is head-shy, tell the clinic in advance. The clinic also takes referrals from other vets and emails a referral report within 24 to 48 hours.
