Cataracts are a natural part of the aging process and occur when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy. As cataracts develop, they can cause blurred vision, glare, difficulty driving at night, faded colors, and increased dependence on glasses.
At Wiles Eye Care, we provide comprehensive cataract evaluations to determine whether cataracts are affecting your vision and daily activities and to help you understand your treatment options.
A cataract evaluation includes a thorough examination of your eyes and vision, including:
Visual acuity testing
Refraction to determine the best possible vision correction
Slit lamp examination of the lens
Dilated retinal examination
Assessment of glare and visual function
Evaluation for other eye diseases that may affect vision
Our goal is to determine whether your symptoms are related to cataracts or another eye condition and to help you make informed decisions about your eye care.
Cataract surgery is typically recommended when cataracts begin to interfere with daily activities such as:
Driving, especially at night
Reading and computer use
Work-related tasks
Hobbies and recreational activities
Overall quality of life
There is no specific stage at which cataract surgery becomes necessary. The decision is based on how much the cataract affects your vision and lifestyle.
When cataract surgery becomes appropriate, we help guide you through the process by:
Discussing surgical options
Referring you to a trusted cataract surgeon
Providing preoperative evaluation and education
Assisting with postoperative care and long-term eye health management
Our goal is to ensure that every patient receives personalized recommendations and exceptional care before, during, and after cataract surgery.
Regular eye examinations are important for monitoring cataracts and identifying other eye conditions that may affect vision. At Wiles Eye Care, we are committed to helping patients maintain clear, healthy vision through every stage of life.
