Eye glasses for dogs
In Previous entries titled " How well dogs can see" ,"How dogs see colors" I wrote about dogs can see wide range of view than human, but what dogs can see has limitation to distinguish one color to the other. Dogs can’t see red, orange, or green; those colors for them,look like yellow or blue. And,if you throw
a orange tennis ball to green lawn,Dogs see yellow ball with yellow
lawn. They pick up the motion very well,better than human,and they can chase after object (ball) without loosing the ball in sight.
Now, dogs like human ages and as they grow, eye sight changes. Human can wear eye glasses or contact lenses to see things better. What can you do for dogs with bad eyesight?
I have never seen dogs wearing corrective eyesight eye glasses, or never heard of dogs wearing contact lenses for dogs. I know there is doggle (dog goggle) to protect their eye from flying debris when they ride in trucks or cars with their owners. I have read that the doggles are used for military dogs,search and rescue dogs as well to protect their eyes.
Amazing thing about this is that the doggle is 100% UV protection,anti fog lenses,shatterproof. And now,you can buy just lenses with different colors and put it into goggle base. I was amazed by what doggle can provide.
According to article by Dr Marty Becker at abc news,goggle is more than fashion and eye protection for car ride. It says special vet can perform retinoscopy,which is similar to what normally done for kids who are too young to read the eye chart. Then, they can prescribe the eye glasses for dogs. Doggle company makes dog eye glasses to order with prescription from ophthalmologist at cost of less than $100. Also, they make black shade glasses for blind dogs who are sensitive to light and it can protect eyes from bumping into things. To read full story,please click here.

Palette does not have doggle,but I would imagine if I got one and get her to wear, she would paw at the doggle.She loves anything goes around her neck but not so much for other areas.
One question came to my mind. If a dog wear doggle, do they see as well as they can without doggle? I would imagine range of view will be narrower.

The video is to funny!
Now you got mom wondering if I am old & can't see the ball to chase it - or if I am just to lazy to care where the ball went. BOL!

When you play fetch, if the ball were not moving, and the ball color was the color dogs have hard time to see with their eyes, then it is probably not dog's eye problem
