Cataracts in dogs are curable. Because cataract is an irreversible ophthalmic lesion and there is no medicine to treat it, the current treatment of cataract is mainly to remove cataract by microsurgery. If cataract dogs seek medical treatment in the early stage or mature stage, the success rate can be as high as more than 90%. If the cataract develops to the mature stage and there are other eye diseases, the success rate of the operation will be about 80%.

Causes of cataracts in dogs:

1. Canine congenital cataract: It begins in the embryonic period, and due to the abnormal development of the lens and its capsule in the mother, it manifests as a cataract after birth.

2. Traumatic cataract in dogs: The lens and lens capsule are impaired in nutrition due to various mechanical injuries (such as corneal penetration).

3. Canine secondary cataract: secondary to other eye diseases and systemic diseases, such as iritis, uveitis, diabetes, etc.

4. Canine senile cataract: It is a degenerative change of the lens, mainly seen in 8-12-year-old dogs.
