Get StartedWhen to seek medical advice
By Mayo Clinic staffAn eye specialist can detect and track the development of cataracts during routine eye exams. Have your eyes examined:
- Every two to four years until age 65 and every one to two years at age 65 and older
- Anytime you develop new eye problems
If you experience any signs and symptoms of cataracts, see your eye doctor. An eye doctor can diagnose cataracts with the help of a careful eye exam.
