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. If you have an eye problem such as cataracts or any other conditions that would require surgical treatment, an ophthalmologist is a suitable doctor to address your problem. Though an ophthalmologist generally treats eye-related problems, they may also offer consultation for conditions that are not linked to the eyes. They also take part in scientific research to find new treatment methods.

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

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

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

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.
