Physicians at Monterey Bay Eye Center perform several tests when diagnosing cataracts. Typically, the eyes are dilated, which allows the doctor to examine several parts of the eyes, including the lens. In some cases, the doctor may measure the pressure in a patient's eyes through tonometry.

Often, patients don't have symptoms when cataracts first begin developing, but they may experience symptoms, such as double vision, blurred vision and poor vision in either bright light or at night. In some instances, an individual may only notice they need to change their prescriptions.

At Monterey Bay Eye Center, patients receive premier cataract surgery. It is one of the most common surgical procedures in the US. This procedure is minimally invasive and takes less than an hour. Most patients feel no pain during the procedure. Doctors perform one of several types of intraocular lens procedures, depending on the specific needs of each patient. If a patient does not seek treatment for cataracts, it can lead to vision loss and possible blindness.

To schedule an appointment or learn more about cataract surgery, individuals are encouraged to visit the Monterey Bay Eye Center website or call 813-372.1500.
