They have to be registered to be done through the BVA schemes although I think dogs like my Vegas who are registered on the obedience and working trial register only can be done also. In fact, I'm sure of it as we had a lurcher in for hip scoring last year.

Hi Maria, the BVA is the British Veterinary Asscociation. You might find this link about the BVA eye testing scheme helpful Eye Testing

If a dog is tested under the BVA/KC scheme the results of the eye test are then printed on the registration document of the dog/bitch. I think my also be published in the KC Breed Record Supplement but Jane will be able to confirm this  ;)

Yep that's right. To complicate matters further, there is also the European eye-testing scheme - results under this scheme didn't used to be printed in the BRS but they are now.

I think it's certain opthalmologists who have "opted out" of the BVA scheme & choose to use the ECVO scheme instead - Dr Barnett is the main one, not sure if there are any others in the UK :unsure:

I don't know if it is me reading it wrongly but I've found this information in the latest BRS a little confusing, as it states pass or unaffected, but doesn't state what they were tested for  :huh:

It is confusing isn't it? I notice there's also a separate list of AHT eye-test results too so we seem to have 3 possible schemes now :unsure:
