A cataract can be small, causing minor vision problems, or can cover the entire lens, causing total blindness. The average cost of cataract surgery for dogs is between $1500 and $3000 per eye, which covers the cost of the surgery itself plus anesthesia, hospitalization and recovery. Most dog cataracts are inherited, but they can also be caused by diabetes, poor nutrition, physical trauma and infection.
Dog cataract surgery is the only method by which cataract in dogs can be cured. During a dog cataract surgery, the defective lens of the dog is removed and is replaced with an artificial lens, which restores the dogâs vision. While this surgery has a fairly decent success ratio, there are certain risks, such as infections, lens damage and complete blindness that have been associated with it.
