Diagnostic Test for Cataract Symptoms: Beginning Your Treatment

At Clark Cataract Center, we are dedicated to helping you maintain your vision and quality of life. Diagnosing cataracts is a vital first step toward effective treatment and clearer eyesight. Here’s what you need to know about the process.

Cataracts develop gradually, but some early signs may include:

  • Blurry or cloudy vision
  • Difficulty seeing at night
  • Sensitivity to light or glare
  • Colors appearing faded or yellowed
  • Frequent changes in prescription glasses

Our comprehensive eye exams are designed to detect cataracts early. We use advanced diagnostic tools and techniques, which will include:

  • Reviewing your medical and vision history
  • Measuring visual acuity and how your eyes focus light, including under glare conditions
  • Examining your lens and retina with a slit-lamp microscope
  • Performing an ultrasound if needed to assess the severity of cataracts

Early diagnosis allows for timely treatment, which can help prevent further vision decline. Regular cataract exams are especially crucial for individuals aged 50 and older or those with risk factors like diabetes, smoking, or prolonged exposure to sunlight.

If you’re noticing changes in your vision, Clark Cataract Center is here to provide expert care and personalized solutions. Reach out to schedule your cataract exam today!

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect during a cataract vision test?

During a cataract vision test, Dr. Clark will evaluate your vision and examine your eyes to determine if cataracts are affecting your sight. This may include tests like a visual acuity test (reading an eye chart), a slit-lamp examination to check the lens and other eye structures, and a retinal exam to assess the back of your eye. The pressure inside your eye will be measured and your pupils will be dilated in order to better examine your retinas and optic nerves.  He will discuss any visual symptoms you are experiencing.

When should I seek a cataract screening from Dr. Clark?

You should seek a cataract screening from Dr. Clark if you notice symptoms like blurry vision, difficulty seeing at night, sensitivity to light, or if your vision seems cloudy or dim. Regular eye check-ups are also recommended, especially if you're over 60 or have risk factors like diabetes or a family history of cataracts.

If I’m diagnosed with cataracts, what happens next?

If Dr. Clark finds that you have cataracts, he may suggest surgery to remove them. At Clark Eye Clinic’s Cataract Center, we offer some of the most advanced surgical options available, including phacoemulsification and premium intraocular lenses, all of which can be performed at our local hospital.
