Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and surgery of eye diseases and disorders.

  • Nearsightedness (myopia)
  • Astigmatism
  • Amblyopia (lazy eye)
  • Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD)
  • Age-related eye problems (like macular degeneration)

Eye surgery or specialized treatment can be required for conditions including:

  • Cataracts
  • Glaucoma
  • Retinal detachment
  • Corneal disease
  • Diabetes-related retinopathy
  • Strabismus
  • Serious eye injuries
