Its symptoms can develop gradually and worsen over time. Affected individuals often report blurred vision, increased sensitivity to glare, and altered colour perception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make an accurate diagnosis, a cataract test performed by an experienced ophthalmologist is required. There is no reliable online cataract test for home use. However, if you are familiar with the symptoms and signs of cataracts, you can make an initial assessment yourself as to whether you may have a cataract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you already been diagnosed with cataracts? Or do you think you may have cataracts? Then you&#8217;ll find the <a href=\"#test\">online cataract surgical aptitude test<\/a> on our site. It indicates whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.augenarzt-banyai.de\/en\/eye-surgery\/cataract-surgery\/\">cataract surgery<\/a> can be performed on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-63375db1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"#test\">Go to the cataract eligibility test<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"test\" class=\"hx wp-block-heading\">Cataract surgery suitability test &#8211; take it online now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We offer an online cataract surgery suitability test. The test is a first step in determining whether surgery is appropriate for treating cataracts. You can complete the test quickly and easily at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cataract surgery suitability test includes various questions about your vision and any pre-existing conditions. You will also be asked whether you have already been diagnosed with cataracts or believe you may have them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the cataract suitability test, you will be informed whether you may have a cataract and whether you are a candidate for cataract surgery. The next step is to visit our practice; only in person can an accurate diagnosis be made and preparations for cataract treatment be carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n<style

As a result, vision gradually deteriorates. Cataract surgery is the most effective way to remove the cloudiness and restore vision. After surgery, vision can be significantly improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-63375db1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.augenarzt-banyai.de\/en\/eye-diseases-at-a-glance\/cataract\/\">Learn more about cataracts<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"hx wp-block-heading\">Causes and risk factors for cataracts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cataracts develop due to age-related changes in the eye&#8217;s lens that cause it to become cloudy. Other factors also increase the risk of developing cataracts, including smoking, diabetes, a genetic predisposition, and long-term <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loeffert-kunststoffe.de\/lexikon\/uv-exposition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UV exposure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cataract surgery is the only effective treatment to remove the clouded lens and replace it with a clear artificial lens.

Typical signs include blurred vision, changes in colour perception, increased sensitivity to glare, and poor night vision. In advanced stages, cataracts can significantly impair vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An accurate diagnosis is established by an experienced ophthalmologist who performs a thorough examination of the eye. This includes vision tests, an examination of the eye&#8217;s lens, and assessment of other eye structures. The diagnosis of a cataract is crucial for planning appropriate treatment, such as cataract surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-63375db1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.augenarzt-banyai.de\/en\/eye-diseases\/cataract\/cataract-symptoms\/\">More about cataract symptoms!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"hx wp-block-heading\">Cataract test &#8211; How does a doctor diagnose cataracts?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"image_container\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/jpg;base64,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\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.augenarzt-banyai.de\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/grauer-star-vorsorge-kontrolle-1024x576.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" alt=\"Grauer Star Vorsorge \u2013 ab 50 Jahren j\u00e4hrliche Kontrolle beim Augenarzt\" \/><\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cataract examination begins with a medical history interview, during which the ophthalmologist asks about your symptoms and medical history. Various eye and vision tests are then performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cataract tests include several examinations to assess vision. These primarily include a visual acuity test to assess how well you can recognize letters or numbers of various sizes. In some cases, for example, a contrast sensitivity test \u2014 which evaluates the eye&#8217;s ability to detect subtle differences in brightness \u2014 may be performed.&nbsp;These tests can be carried out during an annual <a title=\"Grauer Star Vorsorge \u2013 ab 50 Jahren j\u00e4hrliche Kontrolle beim Augenarzt\" href=\"https:\/\/www.augenarzt-banyai.de\/en\/blog\/cataract\/cataract-screening-annual-check-up-with-an-ophthalmologist-from-the-age-of-50\/\">cataract screening<\/a> \u2014 particularly if cataract surgery is being considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the cataract test, you should inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, especially blood-thinning medications. It is also important to mention any allergies or pre-existing conditions. Trained staff will advise you whether you should wear your glasses or contact lenses during the tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"hx wp-block-heading\">Treatment options for cataracts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cataract treatment aims to remove the clouded natural lens of the eye and replace it with a clear artificial lens. The only way to treat cataracts is cataract surgery, also known as a cataract operation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this minimally invasive procedure, the cloudy lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens. The safest and most gentle method is laser surgery. At B\u00e1nyai Augenheilkunde, the innovative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.augenarzt-banyai.de\/en\/lensar-laser\/\">LENSAR laser<\/a> is used, making the necessary precise cuts within seconds so the old lens can be removed and the new one inserted. The entire procedure takes between 15 and 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the operation, however, the patient&#8217;s suitability for the procedure is assessed. Not every cataract requires immediate surgery, especially if the visual impairment is not yet significant. The ophthalmologist will conduct a thorough examination and discuss the best treatment option with the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-63375db1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.augenarzt-banyai.de\/en\/book-appointment\/\">Book an appointment now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cataract is a common eye condition that primarily affects older adults.
