Cataract consultation

  • Is cataract affecting driving or reading now?
  • Is the target focus distance for distance, near, or something else?
  • Is corneal astigmatism enough to discuss a toric lens?
  • Are the macula and optic nerve suitable for multifocal or EDOF designs?
  • Is overnight stay or observation needed after surgery?
  • How is posterior capsule opacification different from a “returning cataract”?

A demonstration is not an examination and cannot replace dilated fundus exam, visual field or OCT. A normal result here does not rule out disease. New changes need prompt review by a registered ophthalmologist; sudden vision loss — go to A&E. This site does not book or refer.
