[Case Study MW 50D] Screening for Cataract

Symptoms

• Cloudy or blurry vision​
• Colors look faded​
• Can’t see well at night​
• See a halo around lights​
• See double (this sometimes goes away as the cataract gets bigger)​

Diagnosis

Conduct several tests, including:​

• Visual acuity test. A visual acuity test uses an eye chart to measure how well your patient can read a series of letters.​
• Slit-lamp examination. A slit lamp allows ophthalmologists to see the anterior structures of the eye under magnification (1B).

Treatment

​When prescription glasses can't clear the vision, the only effective treatment for cataracts is surgery. Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded lens (2) and replacing it with a clear artificial lens. The artificial lens, called an intraocular lens (3), is positioned in the same place as your natural lens. It remains a permanent part of your eye.
