Optivet Referrals (South London)

About

This veterinary referral center focuses on specialist eye care for pets, operating from a location in Mitcham as part of a broader network that includes facilities in Hampshire. The practice is led by Dr. Gemma Turner, a qualified veterinary ophthalmology specialist, and offers comprehensive treatment for various eye conditions ranging from routine medical care to complex surgical procedures. The facility provides an extensive range of surgical services including eyelid reconstruction, corneal surgery, cataract removal through phacoemulsification, and advanced procedures like retinal reattachment. They also perform specialized techniques such as vitreoretinal surgery and corneal transplants, which can help restore vision in animals that might otherwise face blindness. Additional services include treatment for conditions like cherry eye, third eyelid disorders, and various intraocular problems. Beyond ophthalmology, the practice offers referral services in orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery, cardiology, and internal medicine. Pet owners can access the facility through referrals from their primary veterinarians, and the center maintains connections with a wider network of specialist veterinary services across the region.
