Is there a test a eye doctor can do to see if posterior chamber behind eye is weak before cataract surgery?


medical test to see if chamber in back of eye is strong or weak enough to hold lens before cataract surgery

No. But the posterior chamber doesn't hold the lens.

The natural lens capsule that holds your natural lens is used to hold the implant after the natural, cloudy lens (a cataract is a cloudy lens) is removed. I would think that if the capsule was strong enough to hold your natural lens, it will be strong enough to hold the implant.

not that i know of.
