About
About Veterinary Ophthalmic Referrals (VOR)
Veterinary Ophthalmic Referrals (VOR) is South Australia’s longest-standing dedicated
animal eye clinic, providing expert care for animals with eye problems referred by general
veterinary practitioners. We focus exclusively on ophthalmology and do not offer general
veterinary services.
Our patients come from across South Australia, the Northern Territory and western Victoria. We are committed to working collaboratively with referring veterinarians, ensuring every case is managed thoroughly and compassionately. Once an ophthalmic diagnosis or treatment is completed, we return pets to their usual veterinarians for continued care.
A New Chapter
Veterinary Ophthalmic Referrals has entered an exciting new chapter with Dr. Alex Verloop taking over as the owner of the practice in mid-2023. Dr. Verloop, who joined VOR in 2021 as a resident in veterinary ophthalmology, brings a strong clinical and academic background and a deep passion for eye care in animals. He is committed to continuing VOR’s tradition of excellence in veterinary ophthalmology.
Although Dr. Read is now primarily focused on his North Queensland Clinic, he remains deeply involved in the practice. He continues to work closely with Dr. Alex, ensuring that the highest standards of care and quality are maintained across all aspects of the work. Both Dr. Read and Dr. Alex’s unwavering commitment to excellence and collaboration ensures that patients consistently receive the best possible care.
