KUTV — As pets age, their health needs change, and one common issue both dogs and cats face is cataracts. These cloudy spots in the eye can affect vision and, if left untreated, may lead to blindness.
Dr. Emily Carter, a veterinarian specializing in pet eye health, explains that early detection is key.
While cataracts are more common in older pets, they can also be caused by genetics, diabetes, or injury. The good news? Treatment options, including surgery, can help restore vision and improve quality of life.
Keeping an eye on your pet’s vision and scheduling routine vet visits ensures they stay happy, healthy, and able to enjoy all the sights of their world, whether it’s chasing a ball or lounging in the sun.
