Basic and Clinical Ophthalmology

Basic and Clinical Ophthalmology is the medical field focused on understanding the eye's structure, function, and diseases. Basic ophthalmology involves studying how the eye works, including vision processes and eye anatomy, while clinical ophthalmology applies this knowledge to diagnose, treat, and prevent eye conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and infections. The goal is to help maintain or restore healthy vision and eye health through medical and surgical interventions. This specialty combines scientific research with patient care to improve quality of life for individuals affected by eye problems.
