Sight is one of the most important senses of the human body, but during any abnormality that might affect the human eye or strength of one’s vision, a visit to an Ophthalmologist is highly recommended. Ophthalmology is the department under medical sciences that cures and/or diagnoses eye disorders and deals with the complete gambit of eye treatment. An ophthalmologist may employ a melange of procedures and tests to get the desired report. One of the most widely used methods to assess ocular structures, a study essential to Ophthalmology, is called Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). The information generated from the test is then used by doctors/physicians to assess/conclude on a specific treatment plan that might include a range of pathological processes and clinical diagnoses. Some conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy may be managed by subsequent OCT scans.
A speciality of Ophthalmology, Ocular Surgery, primarily deals with surgical procedures done on the eye or its adnexa. The human eye, by its fragility and sensitivity, becomes an organ that’s dealt with extreme care, and an ocular surgeon might be the one responsible for recommending the apt surgery and educating the patient on necessary precautions if any.
Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that deals with the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eye.
