Vision is something that you rely on daily for so many aspects of your life, and it is also something that is easy to take advantage of. Many people have lost their vision and have had to make a difficult adaptation.

This challenge also extends to dogs, like Duffy, who was no longer able to see the people who he loved most in the world.

When most people go blind, it is a permanent condition that they must learn to live with. The same holds true for pets with blindness. However, there are surgical procedures that can reverse blindness in some instances, and these types of operations are also available for dogs. 

Duffy is an Irish Terrier who, like many other rescued dogs, has had his share of challenges over his years. He developed diabetes previously that may not have been managed properly. As a result, he lost his eyesight.

Once he was rescued, vets were able to stabilize his diabetes, but he did not adapt to being blind very well. He became anxious, withdrawn and even depressed.

His forever family was thrilled to learn that their beloved Duffy qualified for eye surgery that may restore his vision. This was Duffy’s chance to finally see his forever family and the rest of the world around him.

The vision restoration procedure was completed at the Veterinary Referral Center, and Duffy was treated by Dr. Kumrow and Dr. Beale. While Duffy’s family waited anxiously to learn about the results of the procedure, the doctors worked their magic.

After the surgery, everyone was thrilled to learn that the procedure was successful.

After being blind for many long months, Duffy could see again!

Duffy’s family captured the sweet, memorable moment when Duffy saw his family for the first time after the surgery. His pure joy was seen and heard by all as his tail wagged quickly and he yelped with delight.
