Ophthalmology is a specialized medical field that plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving visual health. The primary focus of an Ophthalmologist is the study, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of eye disorders and diseases using medicines and surgical procedures. Ophthalmic surgery is a vital aspect of ophthalmology that involves surgical interventions to address various eye conditions. It aims to correct visual impairments, alleviate eye pain and restore eye function. There are many sub-specialties within ophthalmology, including cornea and anterior segment, glaucoma, medical retina and vitreoretinal specialists, neuroophthalmology, and oculoplastics.
