Ophthalmologist – Why Consulting a Specialist Matters
An Ophthalmologist is a medical doctor (not just an optician) specialized in complete eye care. They diagnose and treat eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment. They also perform surgeries like cataract extraction, LASIK, vitreoretinal surgery, and corneal transplants. Subspecialties include Retina, Glaucoma, Cornea, Pediatric Ophthalmology, Oculoplasty, and Neuro-Ophthalmology. Ophthalmologists differ from optometrists, who can only prescribe glasses.
