Cataract Assessment
What is a Cataract Assessment?
Cataracts occur when the normally clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy. Cataract sufferers see through cloudy lenses much like looking through frosted or fogged windows. Dr Maeve O Doherty can perform a full cataract assessment on your eyes to ensure that you are not showing early signs of Cataract.
What to expect?
Your eye doctor will perform three specific tests to determine if you have a cataract: a retinal exam, a slit-lamp exam, and a visual acuity test. As part of a comprehensive eye exam, these tests will be performed. Are you experiencing blurry vision, double vision, dim colours, needing bright lights or over 60? You may be experiencing side effects of cataracts.
