After completing her residency at Cornell, she returned to her home town, Norwalk , CT and opened her practice, Animal Eye Clinic (AEC), in the Norwalk Veterinary Hospital, where she practiced veterinary ophthalmology. In 1997, she joined Drs. Berkwitt, Nizlek and Ryan to open the first veterinary specialty hospital in Connecticut, the Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center (VREC) in Norwalk, CT. The Animal Eye Clinic moved into the VREC continuing to provide veterinary ophthalmology services for equines and companion animals . In 2013 the AEC was sold to Eye Care for Animals where  Dr. Marjorie Neaderland worked full time for 3 years then part time subspecializing in equine ophthalmology  and continue to perform OFA exams and clinics for purebred dogs. That relationship with Eye Care for Animals (ECFA) ended 6/31/19 when ECFA closed my practice of 30 years. The Animal Eye Clinic was recommissioned 7/1/2019, providing OFA exams and clinics for purebred dogs and allied with New England Equine Clinic in Patterson, NY www.neequine.com, to provide equine ophthalmic services.

Dr. Marjorie Neaderland has been the veterinary ophthalmologist for Guiding Eyes for the Blind in Yorktown Heights, NY, since 1993, examining the eyes of all the dogs used for their breeding program annually and as an advisor working with their breeding specialists and veterinary team to maintain excellent ophthalmic health in their guide dogs. This relationship has been extremely rewarding. www.guidingeyes.org
