What is a Veterinary Eye Specialist?
A specialist veterinary ophthalmologist is a Fellow of the Royal Australian New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (Ophthalmology), and/or a Diplomat of the American or European College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists. In Australia, to become a specialist, you need to first complete a veterinary degree and gain at least 3 years experience as a general practitioner. After this you need to pass a college membership examination (usually focusing on either surgery or medicine). Following this, you must complete a rigorous 3 year residency program with the final step being to pass your fellowship examinations in ophthalmology. Once this is completed, you must apply for registration as a specialist with your state veterinary registration board.
At Melbourne EyeVet there are four registered veterinary eye specialists, Dr Anu O'Reilly, Dr Chloe Hardman, Dr Hayley Volk and Dr Allyson Groth.
