Has anyone every had a young bunny , 8-10 weeks, with a white film and white bump on the eyes ??

Is this cataracts or something else?
I know her vision isn’t great by the way she startles when I touch her.

I just got her and the breeder says he never noticed it.
Is this treatable ?

In young rabbits milky eyes are probably cataracts, which could have been contracted from birth or other factors such as being outside and inhaling spores, either way I would recommend you take your bun to the vet to check if she can be treated, as it depends on what type of parasite possibly caused it,
hope your bun is okay

The pictures aren't close up enough to tell for sure, but that doesn't appear to be a juvenile cataract to me. Which means it could be a corneal ulcer or e. cuniculi induced uveitis, both of which will require taking your bun to be seen by an experienced rabbit vet for the appropriate treatment.
