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.

  • Slit-lamp
  • External examination
  • Visual acuity
  • Refraction
  • Pupil function
  • Ocular motility
  • Intraocular pressure

An opthalmologist may perform a number of different tests to evaluate your vision and diseases. Each test will evaluate some specific aspect of vision. The doctor may direct a beam of light in your eyes to look for any abnormalities in the retina. They design the treatment plan posts after evaluating the test reports.
