What is a Ophthalmologist?
An Ophthalmologist is a medical physician who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and disorders related to the eyes and visual system. They complete extensive medical training, including four years of medical school and a residency program focused specifically on ophthalmology, and are licensed to practice medicine and perform surgery. Ophthalmologists are distinct from optometrists and opticians in that they are fully trained medical doctors capable of handling complex eye conditions, surgical interventions, and systemic diseases that manifest in the eyes.
What does a Ophthalmologist do?
Ophthalmologists perform comprehensive eye examinations to assess vision and screen for eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. They diagnose and treat a wide range of eye conditions using medications, laser therapies, and surgical procedures like cataract surgery, LASIK, or retinal detachment repair. Additionally, they manage chronic eye diseases, prescribe corrective lenses, and provide pre- and post-operative care for surgical patients. Many ophthalmologists also contribute to research, educate patients on eye health, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to address systemic health issues affecting vision.
