Clinical Ophthalmology

Clinical ophthalmology is the branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating eye conditions and vision problems. It involves examining the eye's structures, such as the cornea, retina, and optic nerve, to identify issues like glaucoma, cataracts, or age-related changes. Ophthalmologists use various tests and imaging techniques, and may provide medical treatments, prescribe glasses or contact lenses, or perform surgeries to improve or preserve vision. The goal is to ensure healthy eyes and clear sight, addressing both common and complex eye health concerns through specialized, patient-centered care.
