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. 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.

What are the tests required before and during the consultation by an Ophthalmologist?

For the evaluation of your eye condition, you have to get certain tests done which may include the following:

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

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.
