Who is an Eye Specialist?

An eye specialist is a medical doctor who is trained in diagnosing and treating eye-related diseases. Subspecialist eye specialists have generally completed training that qualifies them to work on eye complex disorders that are complex, involve a particular part of the eye, or impact some groups of people. They also get training more extensively than a regular ophthalmologist to perform complicated surgeries on critical parts of the eye.

Many eye specialists are involved in research on the real causes and cures for eye conditions and vision problems. Ophthalmologists can sometimes detect other health problems that may not be directly related to your eye and could refer those patients to the right medical doctors for effective treatment.

Optometrists, a type of eye specialist, have expertise in taking care of primary health care for your eyes. After completing college, they spent a four-year professional program to get a doctor of optometry degree. Some of them undergo additional clinical training or even complete a specialty fellowship after completing optometry school. They generally focus on regular vision care.

What are the qualifications of an Eye Specialist?

To become a qualified eye specialist, an aspiring candidate should complete his/her MBBS degree and then so post-graduation in Ophthalmology. The required postgraduate degrees are Master of Surgery (M.S.), Doctor of Medicine (M.D.), and Diploma in Ophthalmic Medicine and Surgery. The training and work experience is gained during a Junior Residency at a Medical College under the guidance of experienced faculty and this is known as an internship. Also, further work experience during the fellowship, registrar, or senior resident sharpens the skills of an eye specialist.

What conditions do Eye Specialists treat?

Some of the conditions an eye specialist diagnoses and treats include:

  • Cataracts
  • Cornea and external eye diseases
  • Dry eyes, Glaucoma
  • Keratoconus
  • Adult strabismus, esotropia, amblyopia, and exotropia
  • Refractive errors like nearsightedness, astigmatism, farsightedness, and presbyopia
  • Uveitis
  • Vitreoretinal diseases, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy

  • Retinal Detachment
  • Presbyopia
  • Refractive Errors
What diagnostic tests are required by an Eye Specialist?

Your eye specialist will order certain diagnostic tests to detect the actual problem with your eyes. Below are some common tests generally ordered by an eye specialist:

  • Color Vision Test: Both acquired and congenital color vision defects can be detected using this test.
  • Computerized Optic Disc Imaging and Nerve Fiber Layer Analysis: This test is used to study the structure of the optic nerve surface and the adjacent retinal nerve fiber layers in a patient with glaucoma.
  • Corneal Topography: Corneal Topography is an effective test used to map and measure the shape of your cornea, the clear front portion of your eye.
  • Electroretinography: Electrodiagnostic testing is used to provide additional information about the function of the retina as well as the optic nerve pathways to the brain.
  • Fluorescein Angiography: The use of fluorescein dye in photographs highlights abnormal blood vessels and detects fluid leaks in the retina, and the overall strength of the retinal circulation
  • Ocular Coherence Tomography: Ocular coherence tomography uses a computer to assess the interference patterns of light reflected from the interior part of the eye.
  • Specular Microscopy: Specular microscopy uses a special camera to take images of an individual cell layer of your cornea.
  • Visual Field Tests: The visual field test, also called perimetry, determines the borders of that field and how effectively the eyes of the patient see in different areas of the field.
  • Ultrasound: Ultrasound of the eye is suggested when the doctor fails to have a good view into the eye or needs to review a specific lesion.
When should you visit an Eye Specialist?

There are some symptoms and signs that may hint you need to see an eye specialist. If you notice any one of the five signs, book an appointment with your eye specialist immediately.

What can you expect from your first visit with an Eye Specialist?

And if it is your first appointment, you may be asked to provide a more detailed medical history, including all medications you are taking, and any vision issues your parents might have experienced. Make sure you bring in all eyewear that you are wearing at present so it can be evaluated by your eye specialist.

Besides this, you will need to undergo a series of vision screenings and other vision tests to help determine your eye health and the quality of your vision. These tests will also help to find if your current prescription glasses are still meeting your vision needs. The eye doctor will also check the eyes for signs of any vision problems or eye conditions.

Finally, you should have a detailed discussion about the current state of your vision and eye health, and your eye specialist may suggest vision correction in the form of contact lenses or eyeglasses. Any health problems or serious vision complications would also be discussed, including steps you need to take to protect and preserve your sight.

Which are the most common procedures performed by an Eye Specialist?

There are different ways to treat vision problems. Surgery can correct problems, such as glaucoma and cataracts. Other procedures may improve poor vision.
