Frequently Asked Questions

Who is an Ophthalmologist?

Ophthalmologists, commonly known as Eye Care Specialists, are doctors who specialise in diagnosing & treating eye & vision conditions. There is a difference between an Ophthalmologist & Optometrist as the latter doesn’t hold medical degree but has the specialty in primary vision care such as performing vision tests, treating glaucoma & diabetic retinopathy but the former is a specialist of complete eye care from surgical eye care for cataracts or medications for iritis. Both of them are still different to opticians who aren’t medical professionals but can check lens prescriptions & provide you with glasses & contact lenses. Usually, ophthalmologists & optometrists work in collaboration.

What are the qualifications of an Ophthalmologist?

The qualifications of ophthalmologist are an MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery) followed by a postgraduate program such as MD (Doctor of Medicine) or MS (Master of Surgery) or DNB in Ophthalmology which is also the main point of difference between an ophthalmologist & optometrist. After post graduation, the doctor should complete junior residencies or fellowships. The doctor may then further pursue senior residencies & even higher programs such as DM or M.Ch. or s/he can enrol in 1-year Post-Doctoral Certificate Course. The doctor can get FNB or Fellow of National Board certification as well. The educational qualifications are definitely highly demanding & time-consuming but well worth the wait.

What does an Ophthalmologist do?

An Ophthalmologist is an eye doctor with an advanced level of training (10-12 years) in both the medications & surgery which lead to the ability to diagnose & treat a wider variety of eye diseases. Be it any technical surgical procedure related to eye care or a simple case of prescribing a contact lens, an ophthalmologist can handle it all & in fact, being trained in general medicine as well, in may instances ophthalmologist can even help identifying diseases or health problems with no straight correlation with eye care. In fact, some ophthalmologists can even have specific specialisations in more complex subspecialties such as Oculo-plastic surgery or Pediatrics which exhibit their diverse skill set.

What diseases do ophthalmologists treat?

Ophthalmologist can treat ALL eye-related disorders ranging from eye flu (infection in the eye) to refractive errors such as myopia and hyperopia (short-sightedness & far-sightedness in layman terms) but these can be treated by even an optometrist or even optician as well. The real treasure of the training for an ophthalmologist lies in remedying disorders such as macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that if left untreated can cause severe vision loss or retinal detachment which ,as the name suggests, involves the retina lining to detach away from tissue leading even to blindness. Other conditions treated by an ophthalmologist includes dry eye, Amblyopia, cataract or diabetes-related vision loss.

Common problems you should see the Ophthalmologist for?

Some of the most common problems for which you can visit an ophthalmologist near you includes age-related eye problems such as age-related macular degeneration, presbyopia (combination of myopia & hypermetropia) or astigmatism (blurry vision due to the inability to focus). You can also consult the doctor for diabetic retinopathy (weakening of blood vessels going to the eye) or corneal diseases including keratitis, ocular herpes (herpes of eye), shingles or any corneal dystrophy. The ophthalmologist can perform laser surgery for treatments of cataract (clouding of eyes) or glaucoma (optical nerve damage) & can perform LASIK surgery for vision correction. Thus, you can see an ophthalmologist for a plethora of common problems.

For which symptoms you should consult an Ophthalmologist?

Most eye related problems share many common symptoms which you can notice and timely consult a suitable doctor, preferably an ophthalmologist to prevent any further damage. Some of these symptoms include blurred vision, pain or burning sensation in the eye, redness in eye or sensitivity to light. For example, if an old person is seeing floaters or flashes of light, then he or she may be suffering with PVD or Posterior vitreous detachment, a common age-related problem. If you see halos in your vision, then it is a foreboding to the cataract. Thus, if you experience any discomfort in the eyes, you can confer with a good ophthalmologist near you for the resolution of the problem.

When should I go to the Ophthalmologist?

You can go to an ophthalmologist if you notice any eye-related symptoms & in fact, for older adults, it is important to visit an ophthalmologist for regular eye screening. If there is any accidental injury in the eye or any infection which usually has a feeling of something being stuck in the eye. If you have a medical history related to eye care, then it is suggested that you visit an ophthalmologist at least once a year. It is important to note that the time period between appearance of symptoms & seeking treatment for eye problems is very vital, especially for senior citizens. A quick timely consultation can save you from severe problems such as blindness because in some cases, it is seen that the treatment can do too little too late. Thus, it is advisable that you do not delay your or your loved one’s visit to an ophthalmologist.

Do Ophthalmologists provide home consultations?

There are many eye related problems such as black eye or pink eye (conjunctivitis) which are treatable at your home & in fact, you may not even need to consult your ophthalmologist for the same. For these problems (style, allergy), you can call or conference with an ophthalmologist who will advise you about the treatment. But there are other serious problems such as double vision, blurriness which needs special expertise & for which ophthalmologists cannot provide home consultations as these problems need advanced equipment for diagnosis as well as treatment. So, you have to visit an ophthalmologist near you who can clarify about what is causing the problem & treat them effectively. Thus, home or online consultations depend on the nature of the condition you are facing.

Can an Ophthalmologist perform surgeries?

He or she can perform trabeculectomy which is a transplant to treat glaucoma & also the LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis) surgery for permanent treatment of refractive errors. From retinal surgeries for retinal detachment to eye muscle surgery for strabismus, ophthalmologists can do any surgery related to ocular medicinal practices.
