Eye Can See Clearly Now: A Dive into Cataracts and Cataract Surgery

Date: December 3, 2026

Cataracts are very common in dogs and are the number one complication of canine diabetes. Did you know cataract surgery is an option? Do your clients know cataract surgery may be an option?

This session will explore the causes of cataract formation, and the painful complications cataracts can lead to. We’ll also take an in-depth look at cataract surgery, including patient candidacy, success rates, potential complications, and aftercare.

Speaker:

Amy Cooke, Practice Manager, RVT, VTS (Ophthalmology)

Amy graduated from the Veterinary Technologist program at Olds College in 2006, celebrating 20 years this year as a Registered Veterinary Technologist working in Calgary, Alberta. She began working in ophthalmology in 2012 and instantly fell in love with the field. After 10 years of working alongside Dr. Kelli Ramey at a busy specialty hospital, she was instrumental in opening Calgary's first and only stand-alone ophthalmology practice. She continues to act as Practice Manager and lead technician where her special interests include cataract surgery, complicated corneal diseases and exotics anesthesia.

As 1 of only 4 Canadian technicians holding their VTS in Ophthalmology, Amy has found a passion in lecturing and sharing her ophthalmology knowledge to fellow technicians.

Outside of work, Amy enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband, two daughters, and their fur babies, Kirby and Pai.
