A Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon is a specialist doctor who diagnoses, treats, and manages eye diseases. They perform surgeries such as cataract removal, glaucoma surgery, and retinal procedures, and also manage conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
You should see an ophthalmologist if you have complex or serious eye problems such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, or if you need surgical treatment. Optometrists usually handle vision correction, routine eye exams, and prescribe glasses or contact lenses.
Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition caused by diabetes that damages the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision loss if not treated. Early detection and treatment can prevent complications.
Cataracts are treated through surgery, where the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear artificial lens. This is a safe and effective procedure with high success rates.
AMD is an eye disease that affects the central vision, making it difficult to read, drive, or recognise faces. It is more common with ageing and can be managed with medications, injections, or laser therapy.
