FAQ's Related to Ophthalmologist

What does an opthalmologist do?

An ophthalmologist helps improve patients’ vision by testing the eyes in order to diagnose and treat disorders. Some ophthalmologists specialize in eye surgery to correct and fix eye problems. An ophthalmologist can provide the same services as an optometrist, such as prescribing eyeglasses as well as contact lenses to treat vision problems. 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?

An opthalmologist may suggest the below-listed tests for the diagnosis of eye conditions:

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

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.

When should you go to see an opthalmologist?

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.
