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

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.
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 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.
