SVCA Newsletter Article re: SV Eyes
Approximately 2 years ago Pam Abrath of PaVon Kennels wrote Dr.
Gregory M. Acland, University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine
requesting further information on a paper he had written on "Retinal Lesions
in Border Collies", and how it might relate to the Swedish Vallhund. Pam and
her kennel partner had received conflicting results on eye exams by several
well known area veterinary ophthalmologists. One of them suggested retinal
lesions similar to those seen in Border Collies and other sporting breeds-
referring to the recent findings of Dr Acland.
Dr. Andras Komaromy, assistant professor of ophthalmology at the
University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine responded to Pam's
inquiry and volunteered to investigate further into the eye anomalies of the
Swedish Vallhund. Dr. Komaromy has attended several functions in the US
to perform eye exams on attending Swedish Vallhunds and has offered to work
with Finnish and Swedish breed clubs, eye specialists, breeders and owners to
further investigate eye anomalies in the Swedish Vallhund. We wish to
thank Dr. Komaromy for his generosity, time and dedication to the health of
our breed!
