Cataract Evaluation:

Blur vision / hazy vision / double vision / yellow vision etc … are different problems faced by a person who has either cataract or any other vision disorder. The right person to confirm the cause of vision problem is an Ophthalmologist who can confirm the presence of cataract, implications of vision disorder, stage of cataract and suggest on cataract management.

A series of tests are conducted in the process of evaluation of Cataract which are hassle-free & pain-free. These tests aid in understanding the cataract stage and its effect on vision; and also help in understanding the opacity of lens, retina health and intraocular pressure.

1. Vision Test (Refraction) is conducted by asking the patient to identify the letters or figure from the chart either printed copy or on digital screen or viewing device. This test helps in understanding the vision impairment due to Cataract which is causes clouding of the lens; the vision of person with cataract is similar to seeing through fogged or frosty window.

2. Eye Examination with Ophthalmoscope / Slit lamp helps Ophthalmologist to examine the inside of the eye with magnification. This examination helps in understanding the stage of cataract and decide on due course of treatment. Though surgical removal of cataract (cloudy lens) is most preferred treatment, but it is not suggested at the initial stage of cataract.

3. Eye Pressure Check is a simple test conducted for knowing the intraocular pressure as mature cataract does impact the pressure inside the eye.

4. Retina Examination is an important test to know the condition of retina and helps to understand the vision improvement following the cataract surgery, especially in patients with comorbid conditions like diabetes / hypertension.
