If you are over the age of 65 and start experiencing blurry, foggy vision, it may be a sign that you are developing cataracts. The only way to determine whether your symptoms are due to cataracts or another age-related vision condition is to conduct a comprehensive cataract diagnostic exam.
Dr. Chris Walton will perform a thorough clinical exam to assess the cause of your vision deterioration. Based on his findings, he will recommend the appropriate treatment plan to address your needs. Please call (251) 250-0668 today to schedule an eye exam at our office in Mobile, Alabama.
Your Cataract Diagnostic Exam
Dr. Walton will perform several different tests in order to determine whether you have developed cataracts. These include:
Devising a Cataract Treatment Plan
Dr. Walton will evaluate your candidacy for cataract surgery based on the results of his clinical diagnostic exam and the level of cataract symptoms you experience. If your cataracts are still in their early stages, you may be able to delay surgery for awhile and achieve clear vision by adjusting your eyeglass or contact lens prescription.
Once your cataracts have advanced to a more advanced stage, surgery will be required to remove your eye's clouded lens and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
