Would anyone have any information on Nuclear cataracts?

Thank you.

'Nuclear cataracts', or 'nuclear spots' as they are also known as, is not a Hereditary Cataract, according to an article I have just read by E. M. Bebbington BVSc MRCVS. This is seen as multiple spots along the suture lines of the nucleus and MUST be diagnosed by a specialist, not your ordinary vet, as your local vet can misdiagnose it. It is inherited, but isn't progressive, and can sometimes resolve itself and doesn't significantly affect sight. HTH

Forgot to say that it doesn't stop you breeding from any dog that has/had it.
