Ophthalmologist

If you require a cataract operation, laser eye surgery or suffer from other eye problems, consult with an eye specialist. Ophthalmologists prevent and treat eye diseases, handle your eye problems plus provide eye care. These include glaucoma treatment which if left untreated, may lead to blindness.

An eye clinic or eye centre offers cataract surgery; treatment for diabetic retinopathy, astigmatism (refractive errors experienced as double and distorted vision) trachoma, macular degeneration, eye trauma, uveitis and many other types of eye treatment.

An ophthalmic surgeon, depending on the diagnosis, may perform cataract surgery, lasik eye surgery, retinoscopy or color and visual acuity tests or other interventional procedures to treat glaucoma and conditions such as astigmatism. In treating astigmatism, eye doctors may recommend wearing glasses and contact lenses.
