OPHTHALMOLOGY
Ophthalmology is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders and diseases related to the eyes and visual system. Ophthalmologists are specialized medical doctors who provide comprehensive eye care, from routine eye exams to surgical interventions. They diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including refractive errors (such as nearsightedness and farsightedness), cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Ophthalmologists utilize advanced diagnostic tools and surgical techniques, such as LASIK surgery and cataract removal, to improve vision and preserve eye health. They play a crucial role in promoting eye health through preventive care and patient education, ensuring optimal vision and quality of life for their patients.
