Examination of ocular health, specifically to detect opacification of the lens, has expanded to include methods accessible via the internet. These approaches may involve self-administered assessments of visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and color perception. Such assessments are designed to provide preliminary information regarding potential lens clouding; however, they do not constitute a definitive diagnosis.
Early detection of lens opacity offers the advantage of timely intervention. Identifying potential issues facilitates proactive monitoring and management of ocular health. Historically, diagnosing this condition required in-person examination by an eye care professional; however, technological advancements now offer preliminary screening options that are more readily available.
