What kind eye test you coutry have? Only PRA?

In Finland vet chek all ilnesis in same time.
In Lithuania there is no need to check CSV's for PRA, but I did check Brukne just in case...
At the same time with PRA results dog gets tested for:

PPM
PHTVL/PHPV
Cataract (hereditary and acquired)
Retinal Dysplasia
Optic nerve hypoplasia
Entropion
Ectropion with macroblepharon
Distichiasiasis Ectopic Cilia
Corneal dystrophy
Lens luxation
(all unaffected!!!! )

Uf, so many dificult words.

In Germany we have to have a specialist check the breeding dog every year, or better said if you want to breed your dog again the eye test has to be not older than a year. For getting breeding permission for a new dog it has to be not older than three month.
They check on the whole bunch of genetic eye problems and only a group of testified specialists is allowed to do this on VDH-breeding dogs.
