Why are my dog’s eyes cloudy?

My dog’s eyes are becoming cloudy. Is there anything I can do? Is this a cataract? If so, how is my dog treated?

Your dog’s cloudy eyes could be cataracts or it could be a normal aging process of the lens of the eye known as nuclear sclerosis. Nuclear sclerosis causes the lens to refract light. It’s like looking into a dirty fish tank – you can see, but not clearly. It is best to schedule a veterinary exam to determine the problem.
