Ophthalmologist specialist

My 11 year old dog is developing cataracts. I would be grateful for ophthalmic vet recommendations in Cheshire. Is the operation successful ?

    I tried googling "vets who operate on canine cataracts in Cheshire UK" and quite a few options popped up. You could try it. I would post the link here but it's far too long and we're not allowed to use one of the link shortening tools. Sorry!

    Your best bet is to ask your vet for a referral. Many specialists only work through referrals.
    Not every case is suitable for cataract surgery

    Hope you have deep pockets! When we looked into it for our lab it was about £4k per eye and this was some years ago.
