lens assessment

Lens assessment is a process used by eye care professionals to evaluate the condition of the eye's natural or corrective lens. It involves examining the lens for clarity, transparency, and the presence of any clouding or abnormalities, such as cataracts. The assessment helps determine the lens's ability to focus light correctly onto the retina, which affects vision quality. Techniques may include visual tests and specialized imaging. Accurate lens assessment guides decisions on whether corrective measures like glasses, contact lenses, or surgery are needed to restore optimal vision and eye health.
