Where Can Cataract Check-Up and Treatment Be Done for Both Eyes?

Hello,

We understand your concern. If cataract is suspected in both eyes, it is important to get a proper eye check-up with an ophthalmologist. The doctor can check how much the cataract has developed and whether any other eye problem is affecting your vision.

What you should do

Please share your city and state with us. We can help connect you with a suitable eye-care option for a cataract evaluation.

During the eye check-up, the doctor may check your eyesight, eye pressure, lens and retina. In some cases, eye drops are used to widen the pupil so the doctor can examine the back of the eye properly.

What treatment be needed

If the cataract is mild and vision is still good, the doctor may suggest updated glasses and regular monitoring. If cataract is making it difficult to read, watch TV, walk safely, drive, or do daily activities, the doctor may discuss cataract treatment with you.

Cataract treatment involves removing the cloudy natural lens and replacing it with an artificial lens when treatment is required.

Precautions for now

• Avoid rubbing or pressing your eyes.

• Do not use eye drops on your own without a doctor's advice.

• Wear sunglasses when going out in strong sunlight.

• Keep diabetes and blood pressure under proper control if you have these conditions.

• If your vision is blurred or there is glare at night, avoid driving until your eye doctor confirms that it is safe.

• Carry your previous eye reports and prescription glasses for the appointment.

If you suddenly develop severe eye pain, sudden loss of vision, flashes of light, or a dark curtain-like shadow in your vision, seek urgent eye care rather than waiting for a routine appointment.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
