About Us

Eye Vet offers a comprehensive referral service in the medical and surgical treatment of a wide range of ophthalmic disorders. We offer your animal a specialised service in order to provide the best outcome when eye problems occur.

The goal is to resolve the ophthalmic problem or control it in the best possible way until treatment may be continued at your regular veterinary practice, which referred you. BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Testing for breeding dogs is also available.

Natasha Mitchell and Fiona McKeever work exclusively treating animals eyes. Based at Mulcair Veterinary Clinic (Newport), they work with the team in this well-equipped newly-renovated modern and spacious practice to provide a complete medical and surgical ophthalmology service.

Natasha travels to Cork and Galway once a month seeing eye cases. Natasha holds the RCVS Diploma in Veterinary Ophthalmology. A diploma is the highest qualification which can be obtained. She is also a Veterinary Council of Ireland Recognised Specialist in Veterinary Ophthalmology, and a BVA eye panellist. Fiona is completing a Residency in Veterinary Ophthalmology, and once she passes her Board exams she will be Ireland’s second specialist in Veterinary Ophthalmology.
