FAQs

What is an Ophthalmologist?

An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the eyes. This type of doctor has completed specialised training in ophthalmology and is qualified to provide medical care for people with glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal detachment. In addition to diagnosing and treating these conditions, an ophthalmologist may provide preventative care and advice to help their patients maintain good eye health.

Some of the specific tasks that an ophthalmologist performs include:

  • Performing comprehensive eye exams to assess vision, eye health, and overall health
  • Ordering tests, such as visual acuity tests and imaging studies, to diagnose eye conditions.
  • Prescribing medication to manage symptoms and treat eye conditions
  • Advising patients on lifestyle changes that can help improve their eye health, such as wearing protective eyewear and quitting smoking
  • Referring patients to other medical specialists or surgeons if necessary
  • Performing surgical procedures, such as cataract surgery and glaucoma surgery, to diagnose and treat eye conditions.

Overall, the primary role of an ophthalmologist is to provide expert care for patients with eye conditions and to help them maintain good eye health.

Common procedures performed by an Ophthalmologist

Ophthalmologists are trained to perform a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Some of the most common procedures performed by an ophthalmologist include:

  • Comprehensive eye exam: This is a routine exam in which an ophthalmologist assesses a person's vision, eye health, and overall health. A comprehensive eye exam can diagnose conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
  • Visual acuity test: This is a test in which an ophthalmologist uses a standardised chart to measure how well a person can see at different distances. A visual acuity test can diagnose conditions such as cataracts and glaucoma.
  • Dilated eye exam: This is a test in which an ophthalmologist uses drops to dilate (enlarge) the pupils and then examines the inside of the eye using specialised instruments. A dilated eye exam can diagnose conditions such as macular degeneration and retinal detachment.
  • Slit lamp exam: This is a test in which an ophthalmologist uses a specialised microscope (a slit lamp) to examine the front and back of the eye in detail. A slit lamp exam can diagnose conditions such as dry eye and corneal ulcers.
  • Cataract surgery: This is a surgical procedure in which an ophthalmologist removes the cloudy lens (cataract) from the eye and replaces it with an artificial lens. Cataract surgery can be used to treat cataracts and improve vision.

These are just a few examples of the many procedures that an ophthalmologist may perform. Each patient's needs are different, and the specific procedures performed by an ophthalmologist will depend on the individual circumstances of each patient.
