Plain-English summary
A 1.5-year-old spayed female dachshund was brought to the vet because she had a cataract in her left eye, which was causing inflammation. Over four months, the cataract worsened significantly. The veterinarian performed surgery to remove the cataract and put in an artificial lens. One year later, the dog is still able to see well out of her left eye.
