Wishing all our friends and clients a very Merry Christmas from the team at Eye Vet!
We have had a wonderful year, and are thrilled to have expanded and started a second residency program. It's exciting times for ophthalmology in Ireland.

Please before you sign off for Christmas, if you are a vet practicing in Ireland take 4 minutes to complete our survey:

Hi everyone! We’re running a short survey on how antibiotics are being used in ophthalmic surgery in veterinary practice across Ireland, and we’d really love your input. Whether you see eye cases every day or only now and then, your experience matters and will help us understand what’s happening on the ground.

The survey is completely anonymous and only takes a few minutes. Thanks so much for taking the time to get involved — your voice genuinely helps shape better, evidence-based guidance for all of us.

She’s joining Natasha and Fiona, and we’re very excited to have the full team under one roof at last. Keep an eye out for more updates.

This little three month old kitten called Millie came to see us today. She was born with a dermoid (a patch of skin in an abnormal location) attached to her right eye. The hair on the eye matches the hair of her coat! It was uncomfortable so she had the dermoid surgically removed and looked great straight away. The future is bright for Millie!

We had a wonderful time last weekend at the European College of Veterinary Ophthalmologist's annual conference in Edinburgh.

The focus was on intraocular surgery, and was an important opportunity to stay up to date with the advancing research in our field. These conferences are also a wonderful way to connect with our international colleagues, the impact of a wider community working together cannot be underestimated.
