Cataract Examination

A cataract examination is the first and most essential step in accurately diagnosing the condition and determining its impact on vision. Through the examination, the doctor can assess the condition of the lens inside the eye, determine the appropriate time for surgery, and select the most suitable lens for each patient.

When do you need a cataract examination?

It is recommended to undergo an examination if you notice any change in your vision quality, especially if you begin to experience persistent blurring or difficulty performing daily activities. The earlier the condition is detected, the better the results and the easier it is to treat.

• Blurred or cloudy vision
• Difficulty driving at night
• High sensitivity to light
• Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription
• Faded colors or reduced contrast

How is a cataract examination performed?

The examination is performed using precise, modern instruments that allow the doctor to clearly see the details of the eye.

The examination is painless and quick, during which the lens and retina are assessed, and vision is accurately measured.

• Visual acuity test and vision measurement
• Lens examination to determine the degree of opacity
• Pupilation dilation for clearer vision
• Retina and optic nerve examination

Is the examination painful?

No, a cataract examination is a simple and completely painless procedure. Eye drops may be used to dilate the pupils, which may cause temporary light sensitivity, but this disappears within a few hours.
