FAQ

What is an ophthalmologist? What do they do?

An ophthalmologist is an eye doctor who diagnoses and treats eye injuries, infections, diseases, and disorders through medications or surgical interventions.
Consult ophthalmologists for routine eye check-ups, vision problems, eye pain, eye infections, eye injuries, eye diseases, pre or post-operative eye care, or any other discomfort.
If you are visiting an eye doctor, your queries may differ based on the treatment or tests you are seeking for. Ask your ophthalmologist about the lifestyle changes, current state of the eye, potential risks, follow-up sessions, tests to be performed, and preventive measures to keep your eyes healthy.
Optometrists and ophthalmologists are both eye care professionals, but differ in terms of their training, scope of practice, and the services they provide: An ophthalmologist is a professional eye doctor with hands-on experience diagnosing and treating eye problems. Being an eye specialist, they are licensed to practice medicine and surgery. On the other hand, optometrists are eye care professionals who conduct eye examination and vision tests. They are not licensed to perform surgical treatment for eye problems.
People with diabetes have higher chances of developing certain eye conditions and complications. This is why they need to see an ophthalmologist regularly. People with diabetes need to consult with eye doctor as they may develop diabetic retinopathy and other vision difficulties. The best eye specialist helps you detect any diabetes-induced eye problems in the initial stages and treat them at the earliest.
An eye specialist, also known as an ophthalmologist or eye doctor, diagnoses and treats various eye-related disorders through medications or surgical interventions.
To find the best eye surgeon, browse the best ophthalmologist or eye specialist near me. From these results, you can choose the best eye doctor near you. Do your research actively on their specialisation and experience, reviews, hospital affiliation, complication rates, insurance coverage, and costs to get a better treatment for your medical condition.
Home consultations by eye specialists depend on their services or the hospitals they work with. You can search for the best eye specialist doctor near me and know their availability for home consultations.
