Cataracts

Has anyone had any experience with cataracts? I took Toff to the vet for what I thought was an URI (and she is now on ABs for that) and druing the examination the vet found a cataract in her left eye, taking up about 2/3s of the eye and another in the middle of her right eye. Being not even one I am looking into ways to getting rid of at least the big one (obviously through surgery), and the risks involved in doing so. If anyone has any experience or opinions to share -- they would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a photo of her left eye, the cataract is the "film" type thing you can see going through her pupil and down to the right.
