What is Hereditary Cataract?
Hereditary cataract (HC) is an inherited condition where the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to vision impairment and, in severe cases, blindness.
How is HC Diagnosed?
A veterinary ophthalmologist diagnoses HC through an eye exam. Cataracts can be detected at different life stages depending on the breed.
Treatment for HC
In some cases, surgery can remove cataracts and restore vision. Regular eye exams help detect the condition early for better management.
