FAQ's Related to Ophthalmologist

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. An ophthalmologist also diagnoses as well as treats eye conditions, does eye surgeries, and participates in scientific research on the causes and treatment for eye diseases and vision issues. Sometimes, ophthalmologists also detect health issues that are not related to the eyes but become clear in a routine eye exam. The ophthalmologist recommends that the person should consult their doctor.

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

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

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.

Some of the signs you need to visit an ophthalmologist include:

  1. Difficulty seeing at night
  2. Red or pink eyes
  3. Sensitivity to light
  4. Blurry vision or difficulty focusing on objects
  5. Eye pain
  6. Frequent Headache
  7. Seeing spots or flashes
  8. Dry eyes
  9. Double vision

If you notice the above-listed signs and symptoms, you are suggested to see an opthalmologist for a proper diagnosis of the condition. The opthalmologist will evaluate the test reports and will plan the treatment that is best for you.
