Nothing behind pupil??

]So today in the sun light I noticed white reflection in the pupil of one of my BO lady's. Never seen this can't find any information, thinking genetic deformation. Thoughts or ideas?

It might be a cataract. How well can she see?

Cataracts can be due to vitamin E and A deficiency, avian encephalomyelitis, and exposure to excessive lighting. Here is a good article on the different causes of eye problems: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ps031

Sure it's not a cataract it is behind the pupil. Pretty sure it a genetic deformation.
