Study Notes

Ophthalmologists and their Role

An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor (MD) or doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and surgery of disorders and diseases of the eye.
Formerly, ophthalmology was known as "ophthalmogy".

Education and Training

After obtaining a medical degree, a doctor specializing in ophthalmology must pursue additional training through a residency program in ophthalmology, which typically lasts 3-4 years.

Treatment and Care

Ophthalmologists prescribe medications to treat eye diseases, including topical or oral medications to treat a range of eye conditions.
They provide medical and surgical care for eye disorders, including cataract surgery, LASIK, and other eye surgeries.
In addition to providing eye care, most ophthalmologists also participate in research, teaching, and public education.
