Grå stær, katarakt: Diagnosen
Sykehistorien er typisk. Det er særlig viktig for legen å kjenne til eventuelle risikofaktorer, slik som nevnt ovenfor.
Tilstanden påvises ved at legen undersøker øyet og linsens klarhet med et oftalmoskop. Fordunklinger i linsen vil ses som mørke partier i det røde øyet.
Annonse
Dersom det blir aktuelt å operere, vil du henvises til øyespesialist. Foruten en grundig øyeundersøkelse, vil legen også vurdere din generelle helsetilstand. Inngrepet er så lite og skånsomt at det er sjelden at det utsettes eller at man blir vurdert som uegnet for dette. Ved pågående prosesser, f.eks. en infeksjon, vil man vente til denne er over før man starter behandling.
