Sorry I don't have a good photo of the problem. As you know, I often encounter a very old (I think he's 15+ years old) muscovy drake named Tom who is feral. He doesn't see very well and today I took a close look at his eyes. He seems to have something clouding up over the front of his eyes. The rest of his eyes look healthy otherwise and his peripheral vision is excellent, but he does have problems seeing things in front of him.
It kinda looks like when there's a small amount of water in a small bowl that gets covered up and the bowl turns cloudy. It appears to be on the cornea, mostly. It doesn't quite look like cataracts.
I'm asking this because I wonder if there's anything that can be done about it or if it's worth taking care of at all because of his age.
Tom is a picky eater, he mostly eats natural food and birdseed with a small amount of bread, but not much.
ETA: Here is a photo of him from the front, I don't know if you can see his cloudy eye on the right:
I know it's not his third eyelid because he's a photo of his left eye with his third eyelid covering it:
