Several diseases and conditions are associated with the eyes that are studied in ophthalmology. An ophthalmologist is a doctor who specialises in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the eye, both medically and surgically. When patients exhibit symptoms such as cataracts, eye infections, optic nerve problems, or other eye conditions, their primary care physician may refer them to an ophthalmologist for further evaluation. Many conditions are related to the eyes or vision that can be evaluated, avoided, or addressed by ophthalmologists. In addition to caring for the eyes' health and the patient's vision, an ophthalmologist may also be able to detect symptoms of conditions that are not directly related to the eyes. In such cases, they can refer people to the right specialist for treatment that is appropriate for their condition.
The Department of Ophthalmology at Manipal Clinics offers patients access to expert diagnostics and care, including surgical and interventional procedures. It is a highly specialised ophthalmology practice in India. Book an appointment at our best multi-speciality hospital in Bangalore.
Approximately 2 billion people worldwide have vision impairment or some form of blindness. Of these, at least 1 billion cases could have been prevented by medical intervention. In most countries, refractive errors and cataracts are the major causes of impaired vision. People over the age of 50 are more likely to suffer from vision impairments. Our ophthalmologists and cardiologists believe that accurate diagnosis is vital to achieving the highest possible outcome. To identify ocular disorders, our team is equipped with the latest diagnostic tools and tests. Our ophthalmological surgeons perform procedures that require a minimum amount of surgical intervention and are safe.
Commonly found in older people, a cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye that can cause blurry vision, faded colour and night blindness. Cataract surgery is a procedure done to remove the clouding and restore vision to normalcy. It is a fairly common procedure and is done with little to no complication in a majority of cases.
Several ophthalmologists are engaged in scientific research aimed at understanding the causes of eye and vision disorders as well as potential treatments for them. There is no question that ophthalmology doctors possess the training and certification necessary to perform a wide range of medical and surgical procedures. It is pertinent to note that an ophthalmologist's daily routines are determined by various factors, including the type of their practice. In addition, these factors include their areas of expertise.
The diagnosis and monitoring of mild eye and vision conditions are among the most common everyday operations performed by an ophthalmologist daily. Aside from that, they will also be able to prescribe and fit glasses and contact lenses to correct vision problems in patients. Often the practice of specialist ophthalmologists will focus on the treatment of one specific condition or a few disorders. These conditions are closely related to and affect each other on a daily basis.
Globally, over 2 billion have impaired vision or some kind of blindness, out of which at least 1 billion cases could have been prevented with medical intervention. The major causes of impaired vision across the globe are refractive errors and cataracts which have been left untreated. Most vision impairment cases are among people who are above 50 years of age.
