What the assessment will involve
The BVA/KC/ISDS Eye scheme examination is a clinical eye examination which will be carried out by an approved ophthalmologist. The ophthalmologist will first put drops into your dog’s eyes to dilate the pupils and ensure they stay wide during the examination. Once the drops have taken effect, the vet will then examine your dog’s eyes with an ophthalmoscope in a dark room. The examination will identify inherited and non-inherited eye conditions in your dog and the results of the examination will be recorded on a certificate.

Please note, you must arrive at the vet centre 20 minutes prior to your appointment for the administration of the eye drops and the completion of the owner’s section of the form. We ask that owners do not attend too early or stay at the vet centre after their appointment as we need to keep the area clear.
