CAER EYE CLINIC

Dr. Ruth Marrion, DVM, DACVO, PhD    

Examination Fee:  Members: $40 per dog / Non Members: $45 per dog                 

On-line OFA Forms/Registration will be used for this clinic.  You can use the new OFA Quick Clinic link to register : OFA CLINICS 

The OFA online form does NOT take the place of Clinic registration.  You MUST also register through us to obtain an appointment time. The above fees are examination fees only and do not include the OFA submission fee.  

Senior dogs will be charged an examination fee, but OFA submission is free. Details at www.offa.org

Note: Each examination takes approximately 5 minutes.

Eye drops to dilate the pupils and aid in examination must be administered 20 minutes prior to the exam.  

Please arrive half an hour prior to your dog's eye appointment, to allow for check-in and eye drops.  Late arrivals will be seen as the schedule allows, IF the schedule allows.
