Abstract
A 1.5-year-old, spayed, female dachshund was presented with a cataract and lens-induced uveitis in the left eye. The cataract progressed from immature to hypermature in 4 months. Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation was performed and the dog remains visual in the left eye 1 year post-surgery.
