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.

  • Visual acuity
  • Intraocular pressure
  • Ocular motility
  • External examination
