Ophthalmologist

An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specializes in eye care. They diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of eye conditions, including vision problems, infections, injuries, and eye diseases like glaucoma or cataracts. Ophthalmologists can perform eye exams, prescribe glasses or contact lenses, and conduct surgical procedures when needed. They undergo extensive training beyond medical school, including residency in eye medicine and surgery. Their goal is to maintain or improve vision and overall eye health. If you experience issues with your eyes or vision, an ophthalmologist is the medical professional equipped to provide comprehensive care.
