Corneal ulcers are common in pets and can result from injuries, infections, or underlying conditions. If left untreated, these ulcers may lead to pain, infections, and even vision loss. Diamond Burr Corneal Debridement is particularly effective for indolent ulcers, which are slow-healing and resistant to conventional treatments. By using a specialized diamond-tipped burr, we can remove non-healing tissue, enabling the eye to heal naturally.

During your pet’s visit for Diamond Burr Corneal Debridement, our veterinarians will carefully explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort, and pets typically recover quickly. After the procedure, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and complete recovery. If necessary, additional treatments like medicated eye drops or antibiotics may be prescribed to further support healing.
