Possible Cataracts in 2.5Year Old BEL

[bel_owner]

Symptoms:
My girl has somewhat cloudy pupils originating from a white point at the center of the pupil in both eyes.
I noticed this about ten days ago. It took me some time to confirm this and get a proper look. And it could have easily been around longer without me noticing. Because when she comes out to explore, I keep the room dark, and I have some photos from several weeks ago where she could have them, but it's hard to confirm.

She has otherwise been acting normal and eating well. I snake-proofed her room, and she explores if she chooses; she puts herself back in when she is done. Nothing seems wrong with her movements when she is out, and she looks healthy and curious. She also doesn't seem to have too much difficulty seeing. She notices when I enter the room, even when she is far from the door--stopping and then periscoping in my direction.

I do not think the cloudiness is from damage, as I have made sure that her enclosure does not have anything sharp. But she does have the freedom to explore and potentially scratch herself. Also, while I do think the photos look like they are from under the spectacle, it cannot be 100% that they are not from external damage.


Could it be from shedding?:
Her previous shed was in the last week of October, so the cloudiness most likely isn't because she is going into shed right now. I also don't think they are retained eyecaps because her last shed went great, and I can see both eyecaps in the shed. However, it could be some eye fluid from the last shed--maybe from the shed or produced just after.


The likelihood of Cataracts:
She is young for Cataracts at 2.5 years old. But from my knowledge, BELs can have eye issues. And I have found similar but more severe cases: Reddit1, Reddit2.
FYI: According to my breeder, she is either a Mojave or Super Lesser.


The Vet:
I have not gone to a vet yet. I will most likely do a phone consultation with the attached pictures. I'd prefer to wait until she has shed to see if they go away on their own before bringing her in person. It's not an issue of money, I just do not want any unnecessary stress. However, I want to make sure I am not neglecting something serious. Nor would I want an ailment that would benefit from immediate treatment to be untreated.
