Lucy is scheduled to have her cataract surgery on the 18th of August. I was hoping to learn more about the state of her retinas today, but her retina check will be directly before surgery. If they are detached or not in good shape, surgery will be cancelled. This vet reported that less than 5% of dogs have complications. The complications range from needing eye drops forever for irritation, to blindness. For the dogs who don't have complications, there is a 98% success rate for an increase in vision.
If her surgery is successful she will return home the same day, seeing better. In case you are considering this, too, for your pet, the cost of the retina check will be $500. The surgery, including meds will be $2,500.
