Eyesight

Have you ever wondered how your pet perceives the world?

The cat, a skilled hunter, has incredible eyesight. It can easily catch prey because it can see in light levels that are seven times lower than what humans need to see clearly. Similarly, a dog's eyesight is also triggered by movement. For example, a dog can spot a moving object from as far as 900 meters, but needs to be as close as 585 meters to see a stationary object.

Be alert for signs of issues that may affect your pet's eye health to ensure they maintain good vision. Contact your veterinarian if you notice excessive tearing, unusual discharge, redness, or if one of their eyes is persistently closed.

Like humans, pets can suffer from eye diseases. Cataracts, glaucoma, uveitis, and problems with the cornea or lens are serious conditions that require prompt treatment. If you have concerns about your pet's eye health, consult your veterinarian for further evaluation.
