Thanks for the interesting information. It's good that you're going to
follow up on that one eye. Peanut is lucky that surgery might be an
option, since that's not an option for our Benny.

What kind of drops were suggested? Something to lubricate the eye?

Interesting note about the milk replacement. We aren't completely sure
of the history of our cat. He was adopted at approx. 8 weeks old from
the shelter. It's possible part of his diet included milk replacer,
but we'll never know for sure.


They are called OcluVet, and there is little data on the success rate,
especially for cats, since cataracts are so uncommon in cats. Here's the
website: http://www.ocluvet.com/

They aren't cheap, it looks like around $130 for 2 months worth (using
in 2 eyes; 4 months treating 1 eye).

Even though they're expensive, I might give them a try after
researching, provided they don't seem like complete snake oil. The
thinking is that the drops might slow down progress, not eliminate the
cataract entirely.
