Dear Pet Owner,
Looking for dog glaucoma surgery? Costs can vary significantly between clinics. One clinic may charge $1,500 while a specialty practice might charge $3,500. Both may offer quality care — the key is knowing your options.
Surgery alone doesn't cure glaucoma — lifelong medication is also needed. Enucleation (removal of the painful blind eye) is the cheapest long-term option at $800–$1,500 and eliminates ongoing pain and medication costs.
Ophthalmic exam and tonometry, pre-surgical bloodwork, anesthesia, surgical procedure, post-op medications, and follow-up exams.
