👁️🐾 A Favorite Experience with Dr. Calvarese!

One of the best parts of veterinary ophthalmology is the incredible experiences that come with helping animals see and feel their best. 💙

We sat down with Dr. Calvarese to hear about one of her favorite experiences as a veterinary ophthalmologist and what made it so memorable.

From unique patients to rewarding cases, every experience is a reminder of why she loves what she does! 🐶🐱👁️

We’re so grateful to have Dr. Calvarese as part of the Veterinary Eye Institute team and to share a little more about the person behind the ophthalmoscope. ✨

🌟 Amazing progress in just a few weeks! 🌟

These are two of VEI Orlando’s feline patients showing the incredible response we can see with treatment for eosinophilic keratitis.

This autoimmune disease can lead to significant inflammatory changes on the surface of the eye that can be blinding. With the right medical therapy they will eventually become completely clear again.

We are so happy to see these two kitties on their way to clearer eyes and brighter days! 🐈 🩷

🐾👁️ BREEDERS: Healthy Eyes Start Before the Next Generation 👁️🐾

Beautiful puppies start with thoughtful breeding—and eye health should be part of the plan.

OFA Eye Certification Exams performed by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist are an important screening tool for breeding programs. These exams evaluate puppies and breeding dogs for ocular abnormalities, including conditions that may be inherited.

🧬 Why should breeders consider OFA eye exams?

🐶 Identify congenital or inherited eye abnormalities
👁️ Screen puppies before they leave for their new homes
🧬 Make more informed breeding decisions
📋 Provide puppy families with additional health information
🏆 Support responsible, health-focused breeding programs
❤️ Help protect the eye health of future generations

Some inherited eye conditions may be present without obvious signs at home. A puppy can appear to see normally while still having an abnormality detected during a comprehensive ophthalmic examination.

Your breeding program is your legacy. Make eye health part of it. 🐾

Ask us about scheduling OFA eye exams for individual puppies, breeding dogs, or entire litters.

🌷 Meet Tulip! 🌷

This sweet girl first came to VEI Orlando about 6 months ago after being referred by Pug Rescue of Florida & Georgia. Her rescue and new family were determined to find a way to help her see again, as Tulip was struggling with vision loss from a condition called pigmentary keratitis.

When Dr. Christine Boss and her team examined Tulip, her eyes were almost completely covered in brown pigmentation—a common problem in Pugs, but especially severe in Tulip’s case due to dry eye and her very prominent “buggy” eyes. 👀

We started Tulip on a stronger tear-stimulating medication and surgery was performed to tighten her eyelids, making blinking more effective and reducing her buggy appearance (don’t worry… she still looks like a Pug! 🐾😉).

And now for the best part… Tulip can see again! 🎉

Over the past 6 months, she has regained vision and we’ve seen significant improvement in the pigmentation covering her eyes. While pigmentary changes like these typically cannot be completely reversed, we are absolutely thrilled with the progress Tulip has made!

Today, she’s happily settled into her forever home—and confidently bossing around her doggy brother like a true Pug. 😂

We couldn’t be happier for this little girl. 🌷💗�Here’s to clearer eyes, brighter days, and a whole lot more Pug bossing! ✨

✨12 years young… and still shining bright ✨

When Belle came to VEI Orlando, she had a very large eyelid tumor that was affecting both her comfort and vision. Dr. Frances Torres performed surgery to remove the eyelid tumor, giving Belle the chance to see and feel so much better.

Fast forward just two weeks, and look at her now!

Senior pets may have a little gray on their faces, but they still have so much love to give. We’re so grateful to have been a part of Belle’s story. 💛 🐾
