Cataracts in cats
3 min read
A cataract is an opacity or a clouding of the lens of the eye. Cataracts are variable in size. Over time, cataracts cause loss of vision and eventually blindness.
Cataracts in cats are commonly associated with inflammation of the eye, called uveitis. Unlike dogs, surgery is performed less often. Your cat’s eyes should be checked by a vet if they are becoming cloudy.
