Lenticular Sclerosis In A Dog
by drpennyjacobs - February 25, 2026    View Case Report
This patient has particularly advanced cloudiness / nuclear / lenticular sclerosis, but i am also curious in general if there is an effective treatment? My chiropractor told me many years ago that high doses of MSM can help dissolve them (even cataracts) and another holistic vet swore by Ocluvet, but I was less impressed.
Thank you,
Penny Jacobs, DVM

Hi Penny,

I haven't found anything myself to handle lenticular sclerosis, which I see as a sort of physiological change. If we were to treat it as a cataract, one western herb with research behind it for the treatment of cataracts that might apply here is Shepherd's Purse. If you end up finding something that helps, let us know!

Steve
