Sure is a good price – for the operating surgeons!! With respect, and depending on the age of the dog involved, unless you have this sort of money to burn, I’d not bother. The first sense, for a dog (other than maybe a sight-hound) is their sense of smell. I’ve had elderly dogs with cataracts and they have lived perfectly normal lives, obviously not seeing as well as before, but well enough that they weren’t bumping into things! Obviously their eyes were bluey, but looks aren’t everything. Personally I’d not put an older dog through this surgery, and certainly not for this sort of money, which is probably correct nevertheless.

Add – I’d always get a second opinion on the condition of your dog, in any case.

I don’t know if he has P-IOL / Phakic lens operation experience. You can call and ask. I do know he has gotten awards for his ability.

I’ve had cataract surgery in both eyes and am very happy with the results. I used Dr Keehn in Garland. He took about 17 minutes per eye. He likes to wait a few weeks between eyes, but did mine sooner since the first eye was 20-20 and the one not operated on was 20-200 and I was having trouble sorting out the different apparent sizes of the objects I was looking at. (The eye that had the corrective lens looked smaller than the uncorrected one.) I have been back and had questions and some extra checkups on the second eye that he did. Didn’t charge for the extra sessions with him. He always stops and sees you even if it is a regular checkup where he is not needed.

He is at http://www.keehnvision.com/
