Ophthalmic Pathology

Ophthalmic pathology is the study of diseases and conditions that affect the eye and surrounding structures. It involves examining tissues, such as those obtained from biopsies or surgical samples, to diagnose diseases like cancer, infections, or degenerative disorders. This field combines aspects of pathology and ophthalmology, helping eye specialists understand the nature of eye diseases, their causes, and how they affect vision. By identifying these conditions, ophthalmic pathologists play a crucial role in guiding treatment decisions and improving patient outcomes in eye care.
