Vet Talks: Cat And Dog Eye Health – Glaucoma, Corneal Ulcers, Runny Eyes, And Uvetis
Vet Talks 4 min readLately, my holistic veterinary clinic in Virginia has been inundated with cats, dogs, and other animals having eye issues. ‘Great!’, I thought to myself, what an inspired time to give all you some information on at-home eye care for your pet, common eye health issues to look out for, tests your veterinarian may perform, and treatments and natural supplements to ease the symptoms of your dog and cat’s eye problems.
Personal Experience With Eye Health Problems
But first, I wanted to share with you a little anecdote, which has helped deepen my empathy for any being suffering from eye health problems. Last month, I was holding one of my patients, an ill hen. The hen was tolerant as I spoke with my client (her caretaker) about her condition. But that day, I must have had an extra sparkle in my eye because suddenly that little hen thought my cornea looked good enough to taste and she had several little pecks at it!
Eyes should be clear and bright, not cloudy or dry; and pupils should be equal in size.
I can say firsthand that a scratched cornea is nothing to be taken lightly; the discomfort is horrible. The moral of this little story is: if you suspect your pet may have an eye injury or eye infection, don’t underestimate the discomfort they may be in – take them in to get checked as soon as possible, so that treatment and supplements can begin right away.
Some of the more common animal eye health issues my clinic has been presented with are:
- Corneal ulcers – This is when the cornea is injured or infected and inflammation and slow-healing sores occur on the surface of the cornea. The most common cause of dog or cat corneal ulcers are injury and trauma; however, an infection can also be another cause.
- Glaucoma – This is when an imbalance in production and drainage of fluid in the eye causes an increase in eye pressure to unhealthy levels and is seen by enlargement of the eye and the cornea becomes cloudy.
- Runny eyes – often due to clogged nasolacrimal ducts. The nasolacrimal duct is the tear drainage from the eye out of the nose.
- Uveitis – inflammation. The uvea is the colored inside lining of the eye and consists of the iris, the ciliary body, and the choroid.
Common Symptoms
Symptoms of dog and cat eye problems can vary depending on the specific eye health issue. Some common symptoms are:
- Discharge from the eyes – watery, bloody, or mucous
- Red or white eyelid linings
- Tear-stained fur
- Closed eye(s)
- Cloudiness or change in eye color
- Squinting
- Attitude and behavioral changes
- Reduced appetite
At Home Care For Pet Eye Health
While grooming your dog or cat, periodically look closely at your pet’s eyes. Face your pet in a brightly lit area. Eyes should be clear and bright, not cloudy or dry; and pupils should be equal in size.
Veterinary Tests for Eye Health
Your vet will perform a variety of tests to make sure your pet’s eyes are functioning normally. The pet eye tests will depend on the previous history, and any specific concerns you may be having.
Common vet tests for eye health include:
- Looking at the Eye with a ophthalmoscope – This is part of the full eye examination. An ophthalmoscope (or funduscope) allows your vet to see inside the fundus of the eye and other structures of the eye.
- Corneal stains – a great way to test for clogged ducts. Your veterinarian may apply a special green stain on the cornea, and see if the stain comes out of your pet’s nose. If the dye spills over the lower lid or does not come out through the nose, the duct is clogged or absent. Note: some animals are born without nasolacrimal ducts.
- Tear production tests – such as the Schirmer tear test. This simple test consists of a small paper strip, which is inserted under the eyelid to measure the amount of moisture produced.
- Ocular pressure tests – the pressure within the eye is measured uncomfortably using a tool called a tonometer.
After testing, your veterinarian will be able to determine if the condition needs aggressive immediate attention; for instance high or low ocular pressures (for glaucoma or uveitis). Many times, an eye health issue is indicative of a systemic disease, or an ulcer-causing discomfort that may lead to infection if not treated.
Treatment and Supplements For Dog or Cat Eye Problems
My background in veterinary care is a holistic, integrative approach. Depending on the condition, I may prescribe pharmaceuticals to my patients. For natural supplement care, I use NHV Ey Eas. I have used Ey Eas for all the common eye problems listed above. In particular, I have had tremendous success treating clogged nasolacrimal ducts with NHV Ey Eas, which helps open up and drain the eye normally and helps decrease the irritation from runny eyes.
NHV newest supplement, OcuLove, is formulated to help with eye health and promote eyesight. It contains a blend of herbs that have been used for centuries for eye health and have beneficial properties like helping to reduce inflammation and irritation, promoting healthy tear production, and encouraging healthy blood flow in the eyes.

Support for Eye Health in Dogs and Puppies
They say that the eyes are like the windows to the soul. There may be something to that! But if there is cloudiness or redness on the lens or whites of the eyes of your pup, something could be affecting their vision. Problems like glaucoma and cataracts happen more frequently in senior pets. But issues like conjunctivitis (pink eye) or general itchiness can occur at any moment, regardless of breed or age. OcuLove is a natural dog eye vitamin supplement that contains ingredients used for centuries to soothe itchy eyes, relieve inflammation in eyelids and blood vessels, as well as help support dog eye infections, like conjunctivitis or progressive diseases like dog cataracts, and retinal disorders. Rich in vitamin A and antioxidants, OcuLove is a beneficial aid for improving circulation and oxygenation around the eye. This natural eye health supplement is specially formulated by a master herbalist and a holistic veterinarian to be safe for use for all dogs. Puppies should be at least four months old, fully weaned and fully vaccinated for safe use.
How NHV Remedies Support Dog Eye Health
OcuLove is an all natural herbal botanical supplement. The herbs in this blend are known for their eye health benefits. For instance bilberry, which contains anthocyanins - the pigments that give these berries their rich blue color - are naturally occurring compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown that anthocyanins enhance the circulation in small blood vessels and help improve oxygenation around the eye. Improved oxygenation is beneficial for conditions like glaucoma (optic nerve damage), cataracts (clouding of the lens) and retinal disorders (vision impairment). Other ingredients like eyebright and turmeric help to soothe itchiness, inflammation (in eyelids and blood vessels) and may improve various eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve. Gingko Biloba is known as one of the oldest living tree species on earth. Its healing properties include enhancing blood flow, providing better oxygenation (which helps with the conditions mentioned above), and slowing the progression of vision loss in pets with diabetes. Wheatgrass has twice the amount of vitamin A compared to carrots - a food commonly known to improve eyesight. Oregon grape can help against microorganisms and has anti-inflammatory properties that may aid with vision, eye infections, conjunctivitis, red eyes, dry eyes, and eye issues in general.
This natural supplement is veterinarian formulated to help your dog’s eye health.

Problems like glaucoma and cataracts happen more frequently in senior pets. But issues like conjunctivitis (pink eye) or general itchiness can occur at any moment, regardless of breed or age. OcuLove is a natural dog eye vitamin supplement that contains ingredients used for centuries to soothe itchy eyes, relieve inflammation in eyelids and blood vessels, as well as help support dog eye infections, like conjunctivitis or progressive diseases like dog cataracts, and retinal disorders. Rich in vitamin A and antioxidants, OcuLove is a beneficial aid for improving circulation and oxygenation around the eye. This natural eye health supplement is specially formulated by a master herbalist and a holistic veterinarian to be safe for use for all dogs. Puppies should be at least four months old, fully weaned and fully vaccinated for safe use.
How NHV Remedies Support Dog Eye Health
OcuLove is an all natural herbal botanical supplement. The herbs in this blend are known for their eye health benefits. For instance bilberry, which contains anthocyanins - the pigments that give these berries their rich blue color - are naturally occurring compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown that anthocyanins enhance the circulation in small blood vessels and help improve oxygenation around the eye. Improved oxygenation is beneficial for conditions like glaucoma (optic nerve damage), cataracts (clouding of the lens) and retinal disorders (vision impairment). Other ingredients like eyebright and turmeric help to soothe itchiness, inflammation (in eyelids and blood vessels) and may improve various eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve. Gingko Biloba is known as one of the oldest living tree species on earth. Its healing properties include enhancing blood flow, providing better oxygenation (which helps with the conditions mentioned above), and slowing the progression of vision loss in pets with diabetes. Wheatgrass has twice the amount of vitamin A compared to carrots - a food commonly known to improve eyesight. Oregon grape can help against microorganisms and has anti-inflammatory properties that may aid with vision, eye infections, conjunctivitis, red eyes, dry eyes, and eye issues in general.
