17 years is still very young, they can get a cataract at that age but it's what I would consider a young animal for that but of course that doesn't rule it out.

I had a spec with a similiar problem once. It occurred in the winter and went away on it's own when spring and high temps arrived. It was a whitish film that covered the eye. My guess was a bacterial infection that the caimans immune system was having a difficult time with due to cool temps. Once the immune system reached an optimum temperature it beat it back.
