    • Existing literature on indications for pet eyewear is limited.

    Purpose:

    • To review and categorize the indications for using spectacles in dogs and cats.

    Summary:

    • Indications reviewed include visual acuity correction, protection from irritants (UV rays, wind), prevention of self-mutilation, and psychological reasons.
    • The review concludes that only the treatment or prevention of specific ophthalmic disorders are justifiable reasons for prescribing spectacles to pets.

    Impact:

    • Provides a scientific basis for prescribing or withholding spectacles in veterinary practice.
    • Guides pet owners on appropriate use of eyewear for their animals.
    • Highlights the need for evidence-based approaches in veterinary ophthalmology.
