Progressive Retinal Atrophy Also known as Progressive Retinal Degeneration, this hereditary disease process literally involves the slow death of the retina, the membrane in the back of the eyeball where light is focused; and will result in blindness. Dogs of any age can be affected; although it most commonly affects older dogs. A simple eye exam conducted by a certified veterinary ophthalmologist can determine whether PRA or any other eye disease is present. Because many eye diseases do not appear until later in life, the eye exam should be repeated yearly, beginning around age 1. Eyevet Consulting Services
