Diagnostic Tests for Cataract Surgery
To determine whether you need to undergo cataract surgery, your eye doctor will perform a few diagnostic tests. They will help assess the severity and condition of cataracts before starting. First, he or she might conduct a comprehensive review of the medical history. Keep in mind to tell your doctor about any medications or allergies that you might have. After that, a series of tests might be done, such as visual acuity to measure how well you would see, PAM test to know the level of vision that you would gain after the surgery, and split lamp exam to measure the severity of your cataracts.
