Can a dogs eyes have cataract sugery?
Cataracts are formed as the lens in the eye slowly hardens as a dog (or human) ages. As the lens hardens, it becomes less transparent and more milky white, impairing vision. At advanced stages, it can cause functional blindness, although the dog can usually differentiate between shadow and light. Cataracts are not life-threatening, just another function of getting older. A dog with cataracts can expect to live as long as a dog without cataracts. However, veterinary ophthalmologists can repair cataracts through surgery - the milky white lens is removed and an implant is put back to function as the lens. This can make your dog's later years much more interesting and enjoyable, as he can see again.
Do poodles get cataracts?
Many people think that as dogs age, they naturally develop cataracts, but this isn't true. Dogs get what is called "old dog eyes." The medical term is nuclear sclerosis and does not affect the eyesight terribly; dogs see as if looking through a pair of dirty glasses. With true cataracts, vision is greatly affected. It can strike at any age but it is not a common condition. Cataracts are typically inherited or can be a sign of another disease such as diabetes.Instructions1Observe your dog to see if she is running into things or suddenly does not want to climb stairs or jump on things she normally had in the past--this can mean she is having trouble seeing. She also may begin squinting her eyes, which can also be a sign she is struggling to see.2Inspect your dog's eyes in bright lighting such as a florescent or in midday light. If you notice a bluish, white or gray color, it could be cataracts, particularly in a younger dog. Redness or inflammation in the eyes can also be a sign of cataracts.3Take your dog to your veterinarian if you notice any signs of cataracts. Unfortunately, there is no cure to completely restore the lost vision. Your vet can remove the cataracts, but vision will still be impaired. Your dog can live a full life even with impaired vision, just as people do. The key is to keep things in his environment the same as much as possible; moving furniture can cause a lot of unneeded stress. When you move furniture or you introduce new pieces, lead your dog to it so he can adjust to where it is located.hope this helped if did give trust point

There are no eye drops that work for cataracts, there was a product on the market that was RX only then you could by it from a vet pharmacy without RX online the price was 120.00 but it did nothing, I was the fool who tried it.
