Anti-Discrimination StatementWe are saddened by recent tragic events that continued a long history of senseless violence that too often ends in the devastating loss of innocent lives, especially in our Black communities. In times like these, listening with compassion to experiences that differ from our own is critical to start the important work towards solutions. As stated in our Harassment Discrimination Policy, the ACVO does not tolerate and condemns any form of harassment or discriminatory conduct of any kind, including but not limited to that based on race, ethnic or national origin, color, gender identity and expression, and religious or political affiliation.Please read the full ACVO BOR/ABVO Joint Statement here.ACVO Harassment Discrimination Policy (Approved 6/2018)Find a veterinary ophthalmologist near you.

Tips, Treatments TricksCheck out the ACVO's animal eye care blog to learn more about common diseases, treatments and innovations. Learn tips and tricks to keep your pet's peepers in tip top shape! There are many easy ways to keep your pet’s eyes clean on a daily basis, or when healing from surgery. It is important to keep the area around the eyes clean so that normal discharge and commensal (‘normal’) bacteria do not build up and begin to contaminate an area in which they do not belong. Have you ever tried to give eye medications to a horse? Well, it is not as simple a task as it may sound! Most horses are sensitive around the eyes, which makes putting medicine on his/her eyes, especially if a painful ocular condition is present, difficult. Our ACVO members are all very concerned about the global health and economic risks associated with COVID-19, and our thoughts are with those directly affected by this disease. In order to adhere to CDC guidelines and not increase risk unnecessary exposure of the public, our doctors and their staff, ACVO has decided to cancel the 2020 ACVO/Epicur National Service Animal Eye Exam Event. The event will not be able to be rescheduled this calendar year. DACVO Diplomate Dr. Brad Nadelstein is featured in a new educational children’s book, Eye Doctor on Call! Listed below are the candidates who have passed all three sections of examinations and were granted board certification status in July, 2019.
