Step one is to go for a full Eye Examination with the Optometrist. The Optometrist will tell you the cause of your cloudy vision. If it is a cataract, then relief is at hand because cataract surgery can restore your vision. The Ophthalmologist will do a full pre-cataract surgery examination and you will need to go for some routine medical checkups to confirm you are Ok for Surgery. Then just plan the Surgery day and let the excellent Surgery team at VE medical in Orange Grove Plaza take care of the rest.
