ABOUT
US
Welcome
Animal Eye Services was founded in collaboration between Drs Richard Smith and Mike Bernays in 1999. Richard (now retired) and Mike subsequently trained numerous residents who successfully went on to attain specialist registration. AES’ veterinary team now consists of Drs Mike Bernays, James White, Kaila Leidreiter & Tom Donnelley-Newton.
What is Ophthalmology?
Veterinary Ophthalmologists (VOs) deal specifically with diseases of the eye and abnormalities of vision in all animal species except for human primates!
VOs must start off as fully qualified veterinarians. Specialist qualification requires many additional years of rigorous training, research and examination before finally becoming a Fellow/Diplomate. The entire process of becoming a specialist takes almost a decade. VOs dedicate their life’s work to caring for eyes.
Ophthalmology only
Animal Eye Services conducts an exclusively ophthalmology only practice - that is, our practice does not consult in anything else other than diseases of the eye. We can not and will not perform other procedures which would normally be done by general practice veterinarians or specialists in other disciplines whilst your pet is in our care.
