My Cat's Eyes Are Not Responding To Light. What Could Be Wrong, And Can It Be Fixed?
Simon is an indoor cat. I keep the house clean, and wash and fill the food and water bowels daily (at least once a day), and the same for the litterbox. Simon is not acting as usual. He is just laying around a lot. His favorite toy is the laser light. He loves to chase it around the house, but lately it's as if he doesn't even see it. I tried testing his eyesight by shining a flash light into his eyes but his pupils did not respond. What could be wrong and can we fix it?

The cause of apparent blindness and lack of pupillary light reflex needs to be determined by your veterinarian. Once the cause is known then we'll know the prognosis and if it is treatable.
This could be a primary problem with the eyes--retina, lens, or other component or a neurological problem.
Please get this cat in immediately--the sooner this is diagnosed and treated the better and more likely normal function can be returned.

You really need to take him to the vet, sorry, but is there a chance that someone might have burned his eyes with the laser pen without you knowing it? How old is the cat? See why I am saying this, it could have been a stroke or something like that. Hope this helps you out, good luck.

Sounds like your cat is seriously ill, lack of pupil response is a sign of brain damage. See a vet right away.
