What causes canine blindness?

I have 2 dogs that are suddenly developing cataracts (foggy eyes) and blood/urine tests are normal. Any ideas? Any relation of canine cataracts to insecticide?

Blindness in dogs can happen from the same things that affect people, such as old age, cataracts and diabetes. There are doggie opthamologists. I have taken my dog to one in Colorado. Not for this problem, but for another, and she was a big help. I don't believe it can be related to insecticide. My dogs are both starting to get the foggy eyes, and both are 9 years or older. It may just be old age. Don't rule out a specialist.
