How are Cataracts Diagnosed?

A regular eye exam is all that is needed to find a cataract. Your vision will be checked and you probably will get eye drops to dilate (enlarge) the pupils. This helps us to see the inside of your eyes. Instruments such as the ophthalmoscope and Slit Lamp are used to detect cataracts and other eye diseases.
