Cataracts in cats refer to abnormal, cloudy, and cloudy changes in the lens of a cat's pupil, resulting in the inability of light to reach the retina of the eye, resulting in reduced vision or blindness. Cataracts can easily be confused with nuclear sclerosis, which is a normal change in eye color in older cats over 7 years old. This change can make the lens appear white but does not affect vision. The main causes of cataracts in cats are early malnutrition, heredity, trauma, metabolic disorders, radiation, inflammation, lens loss, etc. It may also be caused by uveitis. In the clinical symptom stage, the symptoms are obvious, the pupils turn gray-white, the vision is severely reduced or even lost, the activities are reduced, the gait is unstable, and objects will be bumped into in familiar environments. Once you suspect that your cat has cataracts, you should take him to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid worsening of the condition.

Cataract symptoms in cats:

1. A blue, gray or white layer appears in one or both eyes.

2. The ability to see in dark or dimly lit places is impaired, and walking is slow in dark or unfamiliar environments.

3. It is difficult to judge distances and cannot recognize familiar people, and it is easy to collide with other objects.
