Dog Health...Cataracts Dog HealthCataracts Cataracts are an opacity in the lens of the eye. Most cataracts in dogs are caused by a genetic predisposition, but diabetes mellitus is also a common cause. The only effective treatment is surgical removal. A cataract is a clouding that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its envelope, varying in degree from slight to complete opacity and obstructing the passage of light. Early in the development of age-related cataract the power of the lens may be increased, causing near-sightedness (myopia), and the gradual yellowing and opacification of the lens may reduce the perception of blue colours. Cataracts typically progress slowly to cause vision loss and are potentially blinding if untreated. The condition usually affects both eyes, but almost always one eye is affected earlier than the other. Treatment: The operation to remove cataracts can be performed at any stage of their development. There is no longer a reason to wait until a cataract is "ripe" before removing it. However, because any surgery involves some risk, it is usually worth waiting until there is some change in vision before removing the cataract. Cataract operations are usually performed using a local anaesthetic and the patient is allowed to go home the same day. from: wikipedia The dog disease directory at Long Live Puppies is a list of diseases and other health conditions related to dogs and are continuously being updated with new definitions and improvements.
