​The Australian Canine Eye Scheme (ACES) is a national system of examination, certification and data reporting of abnormal eye conditions (both inherited and non- inherited) in all dog breeds, carried out Australia-wide by registered veterinary eye specialists.
Border Collies are screened for Collie Eye Anomaly, Glaucoma, Hereditary Cataract and Primary Lens Luxation. This clinic will be open to all breeds, and screen for all required conditions.

Eye drops are required to be put in prior to the test by owners/BCCSA committee and pedigrees are to be submitted at the time of booking. ACES certificates will be sent directly to the owner's email address.
