FAQ's Related to Ophthalmologist

When should someone see an ophthalmologist instead of an optometrist?

If you have a severe eye condition, such as cataracts, a glaucoma diagnosis, macular degeneration, retinal diseases, or diabetic eye disease, or if you require eye surgery, you should see an ophthalmologist. An optometrist will spend time with you to correct your vision and may conduct a routine eye exam. In contrast, an ophthalmologist can provide a higher level of medical care and perform surgery.

What medical conditions can ophthalmologists treat?

Cataracts and cataract surgery
Glaucoma
Retinal diseases (e.g. diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration)
Corneal diseases and injuries
Refractive errors (LASIK, PRK)
Pediatric eye conditions (e.g. lazy eye, strabismus)
Eye trauma/disease and eye infections
Ocular tumors and uveitis

Do ophthalmologists perform surgical procedures?

Yes, ophthalmologists are the only eye doctor specialists trained to do surgical procedures, such as cataract removal, LASIK, retinal surgery, corneal transplants, and glaucoma surgeries.

How often should I have my eyes checked by an ophthalmologist?

Adults with no symptoms should have their eyes checked every 2 years starting at age 40.
Children should have at least one eye exam before school, as recommended.
People with diabetes, those with hypertension, or those with a family history of eye disease should have their eyes examined annually.
People aged 60 years and above should be examined annually.

What distinguishes an ophthalmologist from an optometrist and an optician?

Ophthalmologist: A medical professional who can diagnose and treat eye disease, perform surgery, and prescribe glasses and/or contact lenses.
Optometrist: A professional who can test vision, prescribe glasses, and detect some eye conditions, but cannot perform surgery.
Optician: A professional who can fit and dispense glasses and contact lenses, but cannot diagnose or treat eye problems.
