Understanding Cataracts in Pets
Cataracts are a common eye condition in pets, affecting the clarity of the lens and potentially leading to impaired vision or blindness if left untreated. At Animal Eye Care, we specialize in diagnosing and treating cataracts to ensure your furry friend enjoys a clear and healthy vision.
Signs Your Pet May Have Cataracts
Recognizing the early signs of cataracts can make a significant difference in the outcome for your pet.
Here are some key indicators that your pet may be developing cataracts:
- Cloudy or Bluish Eyes: One of the most noticeable signs is a cloudiness or bluish tint to the inside of the eye.
- Bumping into Objects: If your pet can’t find their toys or starts bumping into furniture and walls, it could be a sign of vision impairment.
- Change in Eye Color: A change in the eye’s appearance, such as a milky white or gray color, can indicate cataracts.
- Behavioral Changes: Pets may become more cautious or anxious, especially in unfamiliar environments, due to reduced vision.
- Eye Irritation: Redness, tearing, or squinting can be signs of discomfort or other eye issues related to cataracts.
