Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is a medical specialty dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of eye disorders, ranging from common visual impairments to complex surgical interventions. It plays a crucial role in preserving and enhancing the vision of patients of all ages, using both medical and surgical techniques.

Scope of Ophthalmology

  • The specialty of ophthalmology covers a broad range of medical and surgical care for patients of different age groups:
  • Children: Ophthalmologists treat pediatric conditions such as strabismus (misalignment of the eyes), congenital cataracts, congenital glaucoma, and various vision defects. Early intervention can be crucial for ensuring healthy visual development in children.
  • Adults: Ophthalmologists address adult eye conditions like myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and refractive errors. They also perform procedures such as LASIK to correct vision and treat disorders affecting visual acuity.
  • Elderly: Age-related conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy are prevalent among elderly patients.
  • Ophthalmologists use a combination of advanced surgical procedures and ongoing medical care to manage these conditions and preserve quality of life.

Core Services

  • Medical Eye Care: Routine eye exams, management of diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, and uveitis.
  • Surgical Eye Care: Procedures including cataract removal, laser surgery, refractive surgery (such as LASIK and PRK), and retina surgery.
  • Vision Rehabilitation: Support for patients with vision loss through specialized training, devices, and counseling to improve functional independence.
