What is Ophtalmology?
Anytime we have a problem with our vision, we fret and wonder who to visit. Well, the answer to that question is an Ophtalmologist. Simply put, ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that deals with vision and eye care. This is different from the eye care professionals who provide eyewear and eye care. The doctors who are qualified as Ophtalmologists are those who have the expertise to diagnose and treat various eye problems and help restore vision to its normal quality.
An ophtalmologist is a part of the eye and vision care team along with other members like optometrists, opticians, and ophtalmic technicians. An ophtalmologist is also capable of performing surgical procedures for conditions of the eye that requires a surgical solution. Basically, ophtalmologists provide eye treatments.
What are the Signs
of Eye Infection
An eye infection is widespread in today’s day and age, considering we use our eyes a lot more and strain them in front of large and small screens.
Here are some signs to look out for:
- Pain or discomfort in the eye
- Itchy eyes, frequent urge to rub the eyes
- Constant irritation, the feeling of something in the eye
- Sensitivity to light
- Burning of the eyes
- Painful lumps on the eyelid or beneath the eye
- Tender eyes or eyelids
- Continuous tearing of eyes
- Discharge from the eyes, which may be yellow, white, or green
- The pink hue of the white of the eye
- Crusty lashes
- Blurred vision
If you experience any of the following, make sure you visit an ophtalmologist as soon as possible..

Are there any Medical Conditions that can make
Eye Surgery more Difficult?
Some eye disease treatments and ophtalmology treatments cannot be performed in some conditions. These include:
- Conditions that affect the cornea and its condition can affect eye disease treatments that involve lasers. For example, insufficient corneal tissue and eye conditions like keratoconus make one unsuitable for laser treatment.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: This is again a contraindication for laser surgery.
- Infections of the eye: Until the infection is treated, laser surgery for vision cannot be performed.
- Conditions like glaucoma, arthritis, high blood pressure, and diabetes are not absolute contraindications but are conditions that would make eye treatment more complicated and need to be controlled prior to ophtalmology treatment or eye surgery.
Why should I see
an Ophtalmologist?
An ophthalmologist is an expert in the field of eye problems and conditions and their relative eye treatments. They can tell you what is wrong and how to go about rectifying it, what eye treatments are needed, and whether surgery is needed or not. Here are a few reasons to visit an ophthalmologist:
- Since ophtalmologists are also medical doctors, they can not only tell you what is wrong with your eye but also if any other systemic conditions cause it.
- An ophtalmologist will be able to conduct eye tests and evaluate them better.
- An ophtalmologist can guide you to a better lifestyle that can help protect your vision and prevent its further degradation.
- They can detect if there is any serious condition that needs attention right away, like retinal detachment.
- Conditions like double vision can be simple but can also be associated with nerve damage or even a brain condition that an ophtalmologist can tell.
