cataract assessment

Cataract assessment involves a comprehensive eye examination to evaluate vision clarity and identify clouding of the eye's natural lens. An eye doctor will perform tests such as checking visual acuity, examining the lens with special instruments, and assessing how light enters and focuses on the retina. These tests help determine the severity of the cataract and how it affects vision, guiding decisions on whether treatment, typically surgery, is needed. The goal is to understand how the cataract impacts daily life and ensure appropriate management to restore clear vision.
