How can an ophthalmologist help with cataracts?
Ophthalmologists conduct comprehensive eye examinations, including slit-lamp biomicroscopy, retinal examination, and visual acuity testing, to diagnose cataracts. Cataract treatment involves surgical removal of the clouded lens and its replacement with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure restores clear vision.
