Ophthalmology

What is ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is the medical specialty that focuses on the detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the ocular system. Through ophthalmology consultations, conditions that affect vision and eye health can be identified.

The most common ophthalmologic examinations include standardized tests such as orthoptic testing, biomicroscopy, tonometry, ophthalmoscopy and refractive examination. Depending on the initial findings, the ophthalmologist may recommend additional tests or more specialized examinations for an accurate diagnosis.
