Cataract Evaluations
If your vision has become cloudy, dim, or more difficult to focus, cataracts may be the cause. At North Andover Eye Care, we provide thorough cataract evaluations to determine whether cataracts are affecting your vision and help you understand your next steps.
Cataracts are extremely common, especially as we age. The good news is that they can be diagnosed through a simple eye exam and, when necessary, treated with highly effective surgical care.
What Are Cataracts?
A cataract occurs when the natural lens inside the eye becomes cloudy. This can cause symptoms such as:
These changes often happen gradually, which is why regular eye exams are important for early detection.
What to Expect During a Cataract Evaluation
During your evaluation, Dr. Janette Liu performs a comprehensive exam to assess the clarity of your lens and determine how much the cataract is affecting your vision.
Your evaluation may include:
Not all cataracts require surgery right away. In many cases, we simply monitor them over time until they begin to interfere with your daily life.
Understanding Your Options
If cataracts are affecting your vision significantly, Dr. Liu will explain your options and help determine whether cataract surgery may be appropriate. If surgery is recommended, we will guide you through the process and connect you with trusted surgical specialists.
Our goal is to make sure you feel informed, comfortable, and confident about every step of your care.
