Often cats have white membranes in their eyes that do not heal themselves. Corneal leukoplakia, corneal ulcers as well as vitreous turbidity and cataracts can cause cats to have white membranes in their eyes. Eye diseases such as vitreous turbidity and cataracts are mostly seen in middle-aged and older cats. Sometimes cats with vitamin deficiencies can also develop white film in their eyes, so it is important to have a balanced daily intake of nutrients and to take appropriate supplements of lysine, vitamin A and foods containing taurine. When a cat has a white film in the eye it is recommended to take it to hospital to check the cause.
