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. If you have an eye problem such as cataracts or any other conditions that would require surgical treatment, an ophthalmologist is a suitable doctor to address your problem. Though an ophthalmologist generally treats eye-related problems, they may also offer consultation for conditions that are not linked to the eyes. They also take part in scientific research to find new treatment methods.

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:

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

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.
