Default Cataracts, detached lens ?

I have a new foster, Toby. Poor baby...his family called Animal Control to come pick him up because they did not want him anymore. He is 13 and they have two new pups. The shelter was sending out pleas and one of our foster homes agreed to take him in after I get him vetted and cared for.

They had his vet records that ended in 2008...he has not been to a vet since. He cannot see or hear.

His teeth are dreadful looking .. but the eyes are what stunned me. The shelter said that their vet told them the left eye has a detached lens. I have never seen this before and the things I am reading on the internet concern me. I will of course be calling the vet tomorrow...but I did call them on Sat and make an appointment for Tuesday morning. He is not blinking or acting like the eyes are bothering him, so I think it is probably ok to wait but I will speak with them and send them a photo.
Just wondering if anyone has experience with a detached lens? In his photos you can see it is a round thing in the left eye and discolored.

He was an angel while I groomed him ... and he ate well this afternoon! He is so sweet...sniffing all of my pups and they have all been great with him.

The last photo is after his hair cut. He is a little doll baby.
