Adults with no known eye problems are generally advised to have a comprehensive eye exam every 1–2 years. People with diabetes, high eye pressure, or a family history of eye disease usually need more frequent checks — your ophthalmologist can advise on the right interval for you.
Cataract surgery is usually done under local or topical anaesthesia, and patients typically report little to no pain during the procedure, with mild discomfort possible for a short period afterward. Your surgeon will explain what to expect for your specific case.
Glaucoma often has no early symptoms and is sometimes called a "silent" condition, which is why regular eye pressure checks and optic nerve evaluation are important, especially after age 40 or with a family history of glaucoma.
It's detected through a dilated retinal examination, often combined with OCT imaging, which lets the ophthalmologist look for changes in the retina's blood vessels before they affect vision.
