Visual acuity: Checking vision of both eyes unaided and aided with glasses and pin-hole vision to know the improvement as well as to get the general idea about the macular function of the eyes. This will help in the prognostic evaluation of visual recovery after cataract surgery.
Intraocular pressure: If intra-ocular pressure increases as secondary to cataract surgery are needed to prevent further complications.
Slit-lamp examination: To know the type of cataract along with its opacity, morphology, and etiology or any associated ocular pathology.
Direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy: for complete retinal evaluation. Dense cataracts will prevent retinal evaluation and such cases need B-scan for retinal evaluation.
A-scan biometry: To calculate the AL and IOL power for implantation in cases of mature cataracts the posterior segment of the eye is evaluated.
Optical biometry: this is an advanced non-contact method to measure IOL power. It is patient friendly and highly precise
