As 2025 comes to a close, our hearts are full as we reflect on the journey we’ve shared with so many beloved pets and their families 🤍

We celebrate every big and small victory — from the beautiful moments when pets regain their sight and rediscover the world, to the harder paths where, despite our best efforts, some had to lose an eye due to tumours or irreversible conditions.

To the pet parents who walked through those painful decisions and moments with courage and love, we see you. We hope time brings gentle healing and peace to your hearts.

As we step into 2026, may it be filled with healing, hope, clearer days, and happier tails 🐾✨

The Eye Specialist for Animals will continue to stand beside you, providing care with compassion, dedication, and heart.

As the year comes to a close, the team wants to wish everybody a Merry, and jolly Christmas!

Dr Boo is giving 3 lectures at the Singapore Vet Show. She will be sharing insights on corneal diseases, intraocular causes of an opaque eye and ocular emergencies!

There are many keen, passionate veterinarians who have come from other countries to attend the Singapore vet show and ask questions and share cases that they have seen and treated.

Our veterinarian community is growing every year and continuing education is a huge part for the veterinary profession.

Through every busy clinic day, every challenge, and every unexpected turn, this incredible team continues to show strength, compassion, and heart.

No matter how tough things get, we face it all together — lifting one another up, finding laughter in between the chaos, and reminding ourselves why we do what we do.

Today’s team bonding wasn’t just about taking a break; it was about celebrating the people who make TESA what it is — resilient, dedicated, and full of heart.

Thank you to each and every one of you for standing strong through it all — through long days, tight schedules, and the countless moments that test our limits. You make every challenge worth it.

Its time for an interesting post on rabbits! This is a 8 year old rabbit that presented like this. The owner was concerned because there was blood around the left eye.. what is our diagnosis?
On examination, the right eye has a light brown discolouration in the sclera (eye white). [Swipe to see where yellow arrow is pointing]. The eye pressure was 26 mmHg on presentation.
In the left eye, there is a dark brown protrusion. The iris from within the eye had ruptured through the eye white [Swipe to see where red arrow points]. The Eye pressure here was 4 mmHg.

Both eyes were already blind with no responses to light.... however the owner has not noticed any changes in the rabbit's behaviour...

This rabbit had chronic glaucoma (eye pressure was high). These high eye pressures have thinned out the sclera (eye white). You can see the brown ciliary body body (usually out of sight) through the thinned eye white (yellow arrow). In the left eye, it has become so thinned that the eye white completely ruptured and the iris is out of the eye.

The rabbit's left eye was in obvious pain but the right eye did not appear painful. However, an eye rupture is impending in the right eye.

Glaucoma in animals usually lead to pain however animals generally do not show weakness or pain signs because they are either hunted or hunters in nature.

For domesticated animals, we can offer enucleation as pain relief. They can still have a good quality of life if they are not in pain.

L👀K! A Swan waltz in for an eye check! After much flapping and struggling, thanks to our nurse Aydan for holding, she finally settled down to be examined with much grace and poise.
She thanked us with a big watery p**p and off she went!

We are very proud to announce that from 2nd January 2024, Dr Jelisa Lin will be commencing a formal residency program in veterinary ophthalmology with the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists. We will like to congratulate her on her talent, hardwork and determination that got her the residency position. The residency is not a walk in a park but we believe Dr Jelisa Lin will be able to complete the stringent requirements and become an eye specialist!

A little biography of Dr Jelisa:
Jelisa graduated with honours from the University of Queensland in 2014. Following graduation, she has worked in a small animal general practice clinic for 7 years prior to returning to Singapore. Throughout university and practice, she has always felt drawn to the study of ophthalmology in all animals, big and small. She has completed a year-long post-graduate certificate in veterinary ophthalmology offered by the University of Sydney in 2022 and in the same year also finished her internship with Dr Gladys Boo at The Eye Specialist For Animals. In 2023, she also participated in an “Intraocular Surgery for Advance Surgeons” course in Henningdorf, Germany.

She is excited to be undertaking a formal residency in ophthalmology with The Eye Specialist For Animals through the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologist and continue to learn and develop her capabilities within this field and hone her skills in microsurgery.

Outside of work, she spends most of the time with exploring outdoors with her family and senior golden retriever.
