Our Cairn Terrier was about 10 when her cataracts showed up. The vet reassured us that she would do fine as long as we didn't start moving furniture around since she knew her environment. She lived to be nearly 14 and never had any problems either at our house or when we visited my parents. Our vet wouldn't do surgery on any dog older than 7 until blood work was done to show that anesthesia was okay. BTW, does anyone know a reliable breeder of Cairns? We miss having a dog and plan to get one in the near future.
