Cataracts Diagnosis & Management
Cataracts are a common issue that many people face as they get older. The lens of the eye becomes cloudy, making it difficult to see clearly. Seeing through a cataract can be like looking through a fogged-up window, making everyday tasks more challenging. At Chesterfield EyeWorks, we offer cataract diagnosis and surgery co-management to help restore your vision and improve your quality of life.
How are cataracts diagnosed?
During a comprehensive eye exam at Chesterfield EyeWorks, our experienced optometrist will carefully examine your eyes to determine if you have cataracts. If we diagnose you with cataracts, we will discuss your treatment options with you.
While surgery is the only way to remove a cataract, you may not need it right away. If your cataracts are in the early stages, updating your eyeglass prescription may be sufficient to improve your vision.
Cataract surgery co-management
Once your vision reaches a point where a new prescription is no longer effective, the next step is cataract surgery. At that point, our team will refer you to a skilled ophthalmologist in your area who specializes in cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is a safe and routine procedure that involves replacing your cloudy lens with a new artificial lens. This can significantly improve your vision and quality of life. After your surgery, we will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery progress and ensure that everything is healing properly.
