General Ophthalmology

General ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of eye diseases and vision disorders. Ophthalmologists, specialists in this field, perform comprehensive eye examinations, prescribe glasses or contact lenses, and treat conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. They also perform surgical procedures, such as cataract surgery, to improve or restore vision. Overall, general ophthalmology aims to preserve eye health and enhance visual function for patients of all ages. Regular eye check-ups are essential for early detection and prevention of potential vision problems.
