How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Eye Consultants
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

Our 8 year old Yorkie Sammy who has a history of pancreatic attacks was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Within 2 weeks of diagnosis he was 80% blind! We took him to Animal Eye Consultants and Dr. Lindley upon examination admitted him for emergency cataract surgery. Dr. Lindley along with her amazing staff including Gabby, Bruce, Donetta and Dr. Kecova who performed the surgery, made us confident we gave Sammy the best chance to save his eyes. Their professionalism, state of the art equipment, and passion for caring ensured us that we had chosen the right place. Every step, every test, every procedure was explained so clearly we knew exactly what was happening. Sammy received unbelievable care! We are hopeful in the weeks ahead that he will regain his sight! We know that time is of the essence in helping to achieve success. If you're hesitating and your pet needs care, please go here, you will be giving them the best chance. They are wonderful people who bring with them years of experience in working together on our precious pets!!!!! Thank you Dr. Lindley for choosing this career, you and your staff are amazing.

Took our cocker spaniel Rocco here back in March at the advice of our vet . He was then diagnosed with primary glaucoma. After the first visit, the doctor wanted to remove his eye. She basically said that trying to treat it medically was just going to be a waste of money. The cocktail of eye drops helped somewhat but was not getting the pressure down to where we needed it. After the second visit, I decided to get a second opinion because they were still pushing for the removal of the eye. I think they doctor might want to consider working on her bedside manner. I will say that the male technician was very good. Rocco’s new and current doctor in Geneva was willing to try some different options. At 6 months later, he still has his eye; his eye pressure is at normal levels with much fewer medications.

The doctors and staff at the Animal Eye Consultants in Elgin were amazing. Zoe, Michalla, Bruce and Dr. Miller were excellent and professional. They treated our Daisy like a princess. Doctors said Daisy is healed and the ulcer went away and the speck in her eye was gone, it came out on its own. We are so relieved and don’t want anything to happen to our fur babies.

I was very happy with my experience at Animal Eye Consultants. They did a thorough examination and were very up-front with options, possible complications, and cost. I found Dr. Lindley to have a very scientific and matter-of-fact approach. I appreciated that she was able to answer all my questions. My dog Lily was bit on the face on Thanksgiving. After 1 week of care at my normal vet, they recommended a specialist. Animal Eye Consultants were able to see me that day. She ended up needing her eye removed as it wasn’t healing and had ulcers. But, now she is doing great. Thank you!
