An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats eye diseases, performs surgery, and prescribes medication. In contrast, an optometrist primarily focuses on vision testing, prescribing glasses, and detecting eye problems.
You should consult an ophthalmologist if you experience sudden changes in vision, persistent eye pain, flashes of light, floaters, red eyes, or difficulty seeing clearly. Regular check-ups are also vital if you have conditions like diabetes, glaucoma, or macular degeneration.
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.
