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. 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.

Some of the most common test performed for the diagnosis of eye conditions are:

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

There are several eye conditions and each of them produces different signs and symptoms. An opthalmologist will perform a series of tests to find out the eye problem. An eye exam helps find out eye problems at the earliest stage. Also, regular eye checkups help your eye specialist to correct or adapt to vision changes and provide you tips on eye care.
