Dog owners go to some extraordinary lengths to pamper their
pooches, and some owners may wonder: “Can dogs get LASIK?”
It has been reported that some dog breeds have a tendency to
be nearsighted, others farsighted – just like people. But we have not heard of
any actual LASIK procedures performed on dogs to correct these refractive
errors. There is a diuretic drug for dogs called “Lasix” that is sometimes
confused with “LASIK.” Lasix is used to treat congestive heart failure and
edema, or fluid build-up.
Dogs can also develop eye problems like cataracts and glaucoma and there have
been reported cases of dogs receiving laser eye surgeries to provide improved
canine vision for these conditions. This type of laser surgery is not the same
as LASIK vision correction.
At Charleston Cornea and Refractive Surgery,
we do not treat animal eye problems. We do, however, provide technologically
advanced LASIK vision correction in Charleston
for humans. In fact, the 20/20 vision results we provide for most of our
patients allows them to enjoy life with their “best friends” without the
hassles of:
- Fogged up glasses when playing outside in the snow
- Dirt under contact lenses when at the dog park
- Glasses that slide down their noses during walks in the summertime
If you would like to improve your vision, contact Charleston Cornea and Refractive Surgery today to schedule
a free LASIK Consultation and find out if your eyes are right for Charleston LASIK. We also
provide treatment for cataracts and glaucoma in Charleston…but only for humans. Call 843-856-5275 or visit www.charlestoncornea.com to learn more.
