The ACVO/StokesRx National Service Animal Eye Exam is a yearly event that offers free eye examinations to service animals and working animals. These eye examinations greatly benefit assistance animals and their owners in that they ensure that the animals can perform their job well.

Since 2014, Cornell veterinary ophthalmologists have participated in this event along with other institutions. Dogs that were screened by Cornell’s veterinary hospital included those that detected blood glucose changes, provided therapy, assisted with mobility, seeing-eye dogs, and more.

One of the patients that got screened was a female English springer spaniel named Cachet. She’s a therapy dog that visits residents in nursing care facilities.
