Cataracts in Dogs
75% of dogs develop cataracts within 1 year of being diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
Cataract surgery successfully restores vision in 90% of diabetic dogs.
Dogs that undergo cataract surgery are 255 times less likely to experience painful sequelae (glaucoma, uveitis) than those with untreated cataracts.
Rapid onset diabetic cataracts cause spontaneous lens capsule rupture in 10% of cases.
Our board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist, Dr. Kyle Tofflemire, offers free initial consultations for all diabetic dogs to facilitate prompt diagnosis and management of cataracts and optimize prognosis for vision and comfort.
