Within the past decade new knowledge, instrumentation and techniques in veterinary medicine have made it possible for the specialist to receive advanced training in his or her particular field.  The specialist works with the primary veterinarian to provide optimal care for your pet.  There are 18 specialty groups recognized by the American Veterinary Medical Association.  The American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO) was formed in 1972.  The College consists of approximately 300 diplomates world wide.  ACVO is the Association that has established certifying criteria for veterinary ophthalmologists.  For more information on these requirements, please visit www.acvo.org.
