One thing to do is to take a flash light and shine it into the affected eye - if there is a cataract, you should be able to see it very well by shining the light at it. If there is one, make sure to check the other eye too. Also, you'd really want to see a Vet Ophthalmologist soon too, bc they can go blind if special drops aren't given to help w/ the inflammation that cataracts can cause. Many dogs can live w/ a cataract for a very long time without needing surgery...many can go without surgery entirely.

Any signs of diabetes, btw?
