The diagnosis of a cataract is made by your physician on examination and discussion of your symptoms, followed by specialized testing. During your exam at any of our locations, including Dartmouth and Fall River,you may be asked to read the eye chart with a bright light shining in your eye to simulate the effect that certain lighting conditions have on your vision (Glare Testing). Your pupils will be dilated for the best view of the cataract, and a thorough exam of the retina will be performed to make sure your vision difficulties are not a result of retinal disease. You may also be asked to sit down in front of a few different instruments that will take a quick and painless scan of your eye using light, laser or ultrasound.

The Greater New Bedford Surgical and Laser Center was opened in 1986 with the express purpose of rendering high quality, state of the art eye surgery to patients of all ages, especially those with cataracts, glaucoma, or cornea disease. The Center is designed specifically with the needs of the patient in mind. The entire process from initial examination to final outcome is conducted in a pleasant comfortable environment.
After a patient decides to have surgery, he or she is assigned his or her own Surgical Counselor who is available to answer questions and provide assistance. These individuals are specially trained to assist the patient throughout the entire surgical experience, including follow up care for as long as necessary. Patients are encouraged to contact their counselor for any questions, no matter how simple or complex.
