That's what I was thinking. Older dogs are prone to degenerative eye conditions. Eleven year old Jack's eyes are sort of cloudy, and the vet says his vision is like wearing dark glasses around in the house.

It doesn't seem to slow him down, though, although sometimes he'll lose track of me on walks and start wandering off on his own.
