Our Santa Barbara ophthalmologists can find a cataract in a regular eye exam. They will ask you to read a letter chart to test your visual acuity. Pupil dilation , done with special eye drops, helps the doctor to see the inside of your eyes. The doctor will use a bright light to test the clarity of your eyes’ lenses and to check for other problems in the back of your eyes. Other eye tests concerning cataracts are: Glare test, Contrast sensitivity test, Potential vision test, Specular photographic microscopy.
