Cataracts
Regular eye examinations enable early diagnosis and ongoing management of cataracts.
A cataract develops when the lens of your eye becomes cloudy, affecting the quality of the image formed on your retina. The change in your vision may not be obvious at first, but it gradually worsens and comes to affect reading, driving and daily life. Eventually, surgery is needed to replace the lens.
Regular eye examinations allow us to spot cataracts early. We can then offer advice and assistance, monitor how the cataract progresses, and refer you to a specialist at the right time.
