Of the estimated 1 million patients each year in the United States who undergo surgery for media opacities, perhaps 5-10% fail to improve because of pre-existing, undiagnosed retinal and/or optic nerve disease. In this paper, the standard presurgical evaluation (case history, visual acuity, refraction, pupillary response testing, biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, tonometry, visual fields and color vision) and the supplementary presurgical evaluation (entoptic phenomena appreciation, ophthalmic ultrasonography, fluorescein angiography, laser interferometry, potential acuity meter, visual evoked potential, electroretinography, contrast sensitivity and hyperacuity measurements) are reviewed.

D002386 Cataract Partial or complete opacity on or in the lens or capsule of one or both eyes, impairing vision or causing blindness. The many kinds of cataract are classified by their morphology (size, shape, location) or etiology (cause and time of occurrence).

D014792 Visual Acuity Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast. Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
