Cataracts could cause blindness but they would be obvious in the form of a milk appearance in the iris of one or both eyes. Also, it's unlikely that you could have an condition like that manifest literally overnight. I've known of lizards with partial blindness or total blindness due to cataracts that were still able to eat although the completely blind lizard needed assistance. Again, only a vet is going to be able to give you a proper diagnosis and course of treatment if possible. Sorry I can't be of more help. ----- Matt Campbell
