Are you sure it's a cataract?
Did the Vet diagnose a cataract? Sometimes an infection can cause a white film on the eye.
One of my dogs
Had something (developed in puppyhood) that looked like a cataract. It was a fat deposit. If it gets too big, it can be removed surgically. In my dog's case, it never significantly impacted his eyesight, and we never had to have it removed.

canine cataracts are normally a condition of aging
however they can appear early in life on a diabetic animal, or one with other serious trauma and heredity can be a factor. There should be some good info on the internet such as www.marvistavet.com/cataracts
