Canine Eye Certification Exams

Dr. Larocca and Dr. Lively provide ophthalmic screening exams for inherited eye diseases for the Orthopedic Foundation of America (OFA). Only Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists can perform these exams. A Certification Exam is recommended yearly for potential breeding dogs to evaluate for inherited eye diseases. Dogs which are determined to be normal on the exam will be eligible for obtaining a registration number from a Certification Exam which is valid for 1 year.
