Does anyone know of any BVA eye clinics in the near future, that are being held within a reasonable travelling distance of Chichester ? (I have missed our local one this March ! )  Can you help with contact numbers please.

There is a bva health testing fb group that has lists and also on the bva website toi

Or you have heathfield vets who hold bva surgeries every 2 weeks

Thank you suejaw.
I don't like, or use facebook but I will check and see how far Heathfield is.

I'm sure there is a vets who run clinics in havant which would be closer.  Heathfield is near uckfield right over in east Sussex/Kent border

"Ian Mason" has his own practice down there. I didn't think of contacting his own surgery to see if he had any collective clinics anywhere.
I will call his practice.

The BVA's health scheme site has a list of upcoming clinics.

@Brainless
I did try looking earlier today but without much luck. I have just realised that I looked on the Kennel Club site and not the BVA!   Am I dumb or what!!!:roll:

I will try again.
Thank you.

Thank you both; @suejaw and @brainless, for your suggestions.

Here is a list of BVA appointed eye panellists who can issue certificates under the scheme and you can make an appointment with them directly or through your own veterinary surgeon:

Thank you @Admin

Can I ask how long the eye test is valid for and what age you test from? It's not mandatory in my breed but has been listed as recommended so I am hoping to get my girls tested.

Many thanks.

All BVA/KC/ISDS eye tests are current for a year. Age depends what you are testing for

Thank you :)

Depends what you're testing for and in what breed. The kc seem to think ours should be yearly but all his eye tested including prof Bedford have said it's a 1 off for our breed. Either you have it or you don't and it's not a condition which can develop either. I've written to the kc to amend their waffle and so has he but to no avail.
