Lenticular sclerosis is the medical term for a bluish transparent "haze" in the pupil area of the eyes in middle-aged to senior pets.
Like dogs, cat's eyes often show a bluish transparent "haze" in the pupil area. This is a normal effect of aging, and the medical term for this is lenticular sclerosis. Vision does not appear to be affected. This is NOT the same as cataracts. Cataracts are white and opaque. Your veterinarian should be consulted whenever you notice a change in your pet.
