Some dogs may develop a gradual bluing or clouding of the eyes as they get older. This is called nuclear sclerosis and doesn't typically affect sight. The sudden onset of clouding may be due to infection or inflammation within the eyes. Ideally, Toby should be seen by your veterinarian or a veterinary ophthalmologist. Try to schedule an exam as soon as you can, especially if the condition seems to be progressing or if Toby seems painful.
