Cataract Exams
Cataracts are a common age-related change in the eye that can gradually affect the clarity of your vision. At Central Coast Eyecare, we provide comprehensive cataract assessments to help identify changes in your lens and determine how they may be impacting your day-to-day sight.
If you are noticing blurred vision, increased glare, difficulty driving at night, faded colours or frequent prescription changes, a cataract examination can help uncover the cause. During your visit, our optometrists assess your vision, examine the health of your eyes and look for signs of cataract development or progression.
Not every cataract needs immediate treatment. In many cases, we monitor changes over time and help you manage your vision until surgery becomes appropriate. If needed, we can explain your options and support you through the next steps, including referral for ophthalmology care.
Our approach is personalised, clear and practical. We take the time to explain what we are seeing, what it means for your vision and what you can expect moving forward.
Central Coast Eyecare supports patients across Gosford, Erina, Killarney Vale and Budgewoi with trusted eye health care and ongoing monitoring for cataracts and other age-related eye conditions.
