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. 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.
