I don't know about Collies but Collie Eye Anomaly in shelties is not a progressive condition. If they are only mildly effected as pups then they will be fine all their lives. Colabomas are what you need to avoid, also microphthalmia(small eye). Actually, just looked at a book here and Collies can have more eye problems than shelties. Our sheltie pups were always checked out by a canine ophthalmologist before going to their new homes and I would not want to buy a Collie or sheltie pup in unless it was checked first.
