Eye Care
Accessible, expert, and compassionate eye care for animals by Dr. Amber Labelle, board certified veterinary ophthalmologist.
Who We Are
Dr. Amber Labelle is a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist (eye doctor for animals) who started Bright Light Veterinary Eye Care in 2021 to provide accessible, expert, and compassionate veterinary ophthalmology services for pets and the people who love them.
What We Do
We work in partnership with your primary care veterinarian. When your veterinarian decides your pet needs to see Dr. Labelle, they will refer you to our office. Dr. Labelle will examine your pet, make an accurate diagnosis, explain your pet’s condition, and make recommendations for the right treatment. She will answer all your questions and then share all the information she shared with you with your primary care veterinarian. We see small animal (cat, dog, and exotic animal patients) at City View Animal Hospital and equine and large animal patients on the farm and at various referral hospitals.
Why We Do It
Pets are good for people. They bring us joy, unconditional love, and emotional support. We passionately believe in caring for pets and for the people who love them. We will be a bright light in your pet’s healthcare team, illuminating a path forward to eye health.
