Surgical removal of the affected lens is the only available canine cataract treatment. Veterinary surgeons use one of several different surgical techniques to remove a canine cataract. The surgeon may decide to remove both the lens and its surrounding capsule, remove the lens without its capsule, or perform either phacoemulsification or aspiration and dessication. However, not every canine cataract patient is a good surgical candidate. Unregulated diabetic dogs, aggressive dogs and dogs in poor or failing health are not good candidates.
