Cataract Examination Process

Eyesight Test
-
Questionnaire
Filling out our questionnaire is the most basic step of it. It allows us to find out your previous medical history and your family medical history. Also it enables us to know your exact condition and what vision problems you are experiencing.
-
Eyeglass Test
Inspecting the exact strength of the eye glasses you are currently wearing helps us to measure your myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia.
-
Automatic Refractive Power Test
Your exact refraction error is measured by used the most advanced optical equipment.
-
Manifest Refraction Test
Your maximum correct vision with glasses can be predicted with visual acuity test. The calculated maximum corrected vision is theoretically the maximum post-operative vision you will have.
-
Cycloplegic Refraction Test
Cycloplegic eye drops are used to temporarily paralyze the ciliary muscles that control focusing to determine your exact refractive error.
-
Subordinate Cycloplegic Refraction Test
After 3~5 days of the cycloplegic refraction test, when the medicinal effects have disappeared, another vision test is done. This is to calculate the change to more accurately measure myopia and astigmatism.
-
Dominant Eye Test
This is to find out which one of your eyes is the dominant one.
