FAQ's Related to Ophthalmologist

An ophthalmologist is a doctor who has a specialization in eye and vision care. They are trained to perform various eye tests, diagnose and treat eye diseases, prescribe medications and also perform eye surgery. They also provide prescriptions for contact lenses and glasses. 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.

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

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

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.

  1. Difficulty seeing at night
