Going back through old threads it seems FHB's husband is a bunny eye specialist :wave:
I have two catarract bunnies here and our vet Ivan has offered this as a treatment if that is a road I wanted to go down.
aw poor teddy but blind bunnies can live very happy lives too, does teddi have a guide bunny? iv found that blind buns if introduced gently and with the right termperment bun enjoy having a guide bunny as it soothes them greatly. x

The Eye Clinic in Leominster does cataract surgery in exotics. Certainly worth a call/referral as few other practices have the specific equipment to do cataract surgery.

I have never heard of it being done on a bunny. I know it costs well over £2000 on a dog...
costs over £3000 for a rabbit each eye, when i questioned about it when mowgli developed them, but it was decided for best to leave him as he managed perfectly fine for a year with his cateracts
I think if Teddi were older, I probably wouldn't consider the procedure, but in view of his age & that he is deaf too, even the possibility of restoring the sight in one eye would make a huge difference for him.
A lot to research first though... but thanks for the info on what we could be looking at cost wise.
