Eye Care for Animals San Marcos aims to meet the growing demand for specialized pet eye care in the region
SAN MARCOS, Calif. – August 20, 2024 – In response to the increasing demand for specialized pet eye care,
Thrive Pet Healthcare and its partner, Eye Care for Animals, are announcing the opening of their second specialty ophthalmology clinic in the San Diego region:
Eye Care for Animals San Marcos. The new practice is conveniently located at 1903 W. San Marcos Blvd., Suite 140, within Thrive Pet Healthcare Urgent Care San Marcos and is set to deliver world-class eye care for pets in North County.
“We are excited to expand our reach in North County San Diego to provide ophthalmic care to any animals who may need it,” said Dr. Brianna Bergen, a residency-trained veterinary ophthalmologist at Eye Care for Animals San Marcos. “Many pets have or develop eye problems that may require specialty care, and our team is here to provide the support and expertise to preserve their vision and maintain an excellent quality of life.”
Treatment for a Range of Eye Conditions
Eye Care for Animals San Marcos treats most eye conditions, which can majorly affect pets' health and quality of life. The clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating the following conditions:
Corneal disease
Dry eye
Pink eye (conjunctivitis)
Eyelid masses
Cataracts
Glaucoma
Cherry eye (prolapsed third eyelid gland)
Entropion (eyelids rolling inward)
With advanced training and state-of-the-art equipment, Dr. Bergen is well-prepared to diagnose and treat several complex eye conditions in pets. Her expertise and the ongoing advancements in veterinary medicine ensure that state-of-the-art treatment, once available only to humans, is now offered to pets.
Dr. Bergen emphasizes early intervention for your pet’s eye health. “Most pets can maintain an excellent quality of life even with partial or complete vision loss. However, it is important to ensure that the cause of the vision loss is not resulting in discomfort or pain for the animal. Owners are often the first to detect subtle changes in their pet’s behavior or vision at home, and early detection and treatment can spare unnecessary suffering and may even stop the progression to blindness.”
Collaborative, Personalized Care
What makes Eye Care for Animals San Marcos special is that they collaborate with the pet’s primary care veterinarian to optimize a course of treatment. That approach is a team effort, which, combined with the clinic’s advanced technology and the expertise of its ophthalmology team, ensures that every pet receives the best possible care.
The center is available by appointment on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pet owners should make an appointment by calling (442) 305-7640 and have a referral from their primary care veterinarian for specialized eye care.
