Blindness in pets
I've had several patients throughout the years that are completely blind like this kitten and it is very difficult to tell. I think animals extra-visual perception is much more keen than ours is. Many people are reluctant to surgically remove diseased, non-visual, painful eyes in their pets. Prothesis eyes are available by referral to a veterinary ophthalmologist, but surgical removal is a less expensive option.
