FAQ's Related to Ophthalmologist

What does an opthalmologist do?

An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who is trained in vision and eye care. Ophthalmologists are different from optometrists and opticians because of their different levels of training and the conditions they diagnose and treat. Some ophthalmologists work closely with other medical experts to provide care for chronic eye conditions. While ophthalmologists are trained to treat and diagnose all eye problems, some ophthalmologists specialize in a certain field of medical and surgical eye care. They complete 1-2 years of additional training in one of the main subspecialty areas, including Pediatrics, Oculo-Plastic Surgery, and Neurology. They also participate in scientific research on the treatment for eye diseases and vision issues.

What are the tests required before and during the consultation by an Ophthalmologist?

Some of the most common test performed for the diagnosis of eye conditions are:

  • Refraction
  • Visual field (confrontation) testing
  • Ocular motility
  • Slit-lamp
  • Pupil function
  • Visual acuity
  • External examination
  • Intraocular pressure

Eye exams are critical because severe eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy may have minimal symptoms until the condition has progressed. An eye exam involves a number of tests to check your vision and eye diseases. An opthalmologist will perform a series of tests to find out the eye problem and will recommend a treatment plan.
