A standard consultation is about 30min in duration. Assessment of vision, ocular comfort, ocular discharge and a neuro-ophthalmic examination will be performed. The tear production and intraocular pressures will be measured. The periocular tissues, eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea and intraocular structures (iris and lens) will be examined with a slitlamp biomicroscope. The posterior segment will be assessed with an indirect ophthalmoscope to assess the fundus. Direct ophthalmoscopy with a panophthalmoscope might be added if needed.

About Vetscape Animal Hospital

"My experience at Vetscape Paarl was exceptional."
The receptionists exuded warmth and kindness, making me and my dog feel truly welcome. Nico, the vet who assisted us, was outstanding. His expertise and genuine care were evident from the start. My beagle has allergies, and Nico went above and beyond to provide invaluable information and top-notch care. His compassion and dedication are unparalleled; I wouldn't consider going anywhere else for my pet's needs. Even if I were to relocate, I'd make a point to return to this branch specifically for Nico's exceptional service. He truly prioritizes the well-being of the animals over anything else.

"Exceptional service from Vetscape."
The reception staff is friendly, and Dr Brandon is a gem. We were updated regularly while our girl was in their care. Love Vetscape
Tessa
"I could not recommend Vetscape more."
Beyond their specialists, level of care and superior treatment they are beyond kind. My dog is by no means an easy one, many vets before see him coming and roll their eyes and he’s often treated badly because of it. Vetscape have been nothing short of absolutely incredible, kind, compassionate and patient with him. The vets, nurses and all staff there treat your animals as members of your family and not just a pet. Thank you Vetscape for taking care of my Max.
