Diagnosis and Treatment

A regular eye examination by an ophthalmologist is the right way to diagnose cataracts. The doctor will review your medical history and symptoms along with the eye examination. Several tests like the visual acuity test, the slit-lamp examination, the retinal exam and applanation tonometry.

When the prescribed glasses aren’t effective, then surgery is the only treatment to get rid of cataracts. You can do the surgery even before cataracts reach that stage. You can talk with your ophthalmologist about when is the right time for cataract surgery for you. Take time to consider the benefits and risks, delaying the surgery won’t affect your recovery.

The surgery involves removing the clouded lens and then replacing it with an artificial lens. This artificial lens will remain a permanent part of your eye. For some people, the use of artificial lenses may pose other problems. In such cases, after the cataract is removed, vision will be corrected with the help of eyeglasses or contact lenses. After the surgery, you will have some discomfort for a few days, and you will completely recover within a few weeks. If you have cataracts in both eyes, then the doctor will schedule the second surgery only after you have healed from the first surgery.
