ocular medicine

Ocular medicine is the branch of medical science that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing eye diseases and vision problems. It involves understanding how the eyes function, the causes of eye conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and infections, and using medications such as eye drops, pills, or injections to manage them. Ocular medicine aims to preserve or improve vision, maintain eye health, and address issues that can affect quality of life. It requires careful assessment and personalized treatment plans for each patient, often working in coordination with other eye specialists.
