I have my working dogs eye tested every couple of years as a matter of course to keep a check on them and my labs are now optigen tested. In the shooting season my working dogs are out three or four times a week and through experience I know that trauma can cause cataracts so I test every two years.

Incidentally, whilst I was at the eye clinic a few months ago with BB there were 3 Gordon Setter owners having about a dozen older dogs tested because there had been a few cases of late onset PRA recently found in the breed and the breed club were looking for cases to put to the trust gundoglover was writing about.
