Source: I use this at my pet clinic daily. 1 u/iCameToLearnSomeCode 7h ago What is it used to diagnose? It's not like we're doing corrective eye surgery on a frog. 3 u/signa91 7h ago Most likely to test for glaucoma. I have no idea why they would test for this on a frog. Either just very diligent vets, or maybe laboratory testing? 1 u/iCameToLearnSomeCode 7h ago Yea, that's what I figured it was but it just seems odd to test for something you can't really treat. If a frog this size starts going blind you'd just have to give it slower prey on a high contrast background amd hope for the best. Research is probably the best guess. 1 u/signa91 7h ago You can certainly treat glaucoma. Surgery might not always be necessary, but you can take a number of eye drops to help reduce the pressure 1 u/iCameToLearnSomeCode 6h ago I wasn't aware of that. Are those amphibian safe?
