Blindness
As your dog gets older, his vision may begin to deteriorate. The lens of his eye hardens and becomes less flexible, making it difficult for him to focus. This is usually a normal part of the aging process and will not require treatment. It is rare for a dog to become completely blind, or even to lose enough sight to cause a change in his quality of life.
