ACES Eye â€‹Certification

Australian Canine Eye Scheme

The AVA-ANKC Australian Canine Eye Scheme allows breeders to have their breeding stock eye tested by an AECS examining panellist.   At Melbourne EyeVet Dr's Anu O'Reilly and Chloe Hardman perform eye testing to ensure that future generations have optimal eye health and to minimise the risk of hereditary eye disease.

The program is administered by the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) to ensure it meets national quality assurance standards and is endorsed by the Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC) as a reliable screening service, valuable to dog breeders and owners.

ACES Examining Panellists

  • Only registered veterinary eye specialists are allowed to carry out eye certification with the ACES scheme.​
  • At Melbourne EyeVet Dr's Anu O'Reilly and Chloe Hardman routinely perform eye testing to ensure that future generations have optimal eye health and to minimise the risk of hereditary eye disease.

Genetic Testing (DNA)

  • Many eye conditions now have a DNA test available.​
  • Two swabs are taken from the cheek.
  • Please ensure you dog has not eaten for 4 hours before the test is done.
Please ensure that all dogs presented for eye certification and
​DNA testing are microchipped.

What to expect?

  • ​​​A complete eye examination is performed and results given on the day.
  • Dilating drops are required 15 minutes before the examination.  
  • Some dogs will need gonioscopy performed.  This test examines the drainage angle.  In certain breeds this indicates their predisposition to glaucoma.

 Documentation

On the appointment day please bring the following:
  • Original registration certificate
  • Any change of ownership papers if applicable
  • Export Certificate if applicable​
  • Results from any previous eye assessments or genetic testings
If you have any questions please contact us at Melbourne EyeVet on (03) 9545 0103
