Topics in ophthalmology

Ophthalmology (ˌɒfθælˈmɒlədʒi ) is a surgical subspecialty within medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. An ophthalmologist is a physician who undergoes subspecialty training in medical and surgical eye care. Following a medical degree, a doctor specialising in ophthalmology must pursue additional postgraduate residency training specific to that field. This may include a one-year integrated internship that involves more general medical training in other fields such as internal medicine or general surgery. Following residency, additional specialty training (or fellowship) may be sought in a particular aspect of eye pathology. Ophthalmologists prescribe medications to treat ailments, such as eye diseases, implement laser therapy, and perform surgery when needed. Ophthalmologists provide both primary and specialty eye care - medical and surgical. Most ophthalmologists participate in academic research on eye diseases at some point in their training and many include research as part of their career. Ophthalmology has always been at the forefront of medical research with a long history of advancement and innovation in eye care. Ophthalmology/Ophthalmologist is in the same field to, but different from Optometry/Optometrists. A brief list of some of the most common diseases treated by ophthalmologists: Cataract Excessive tearing (tear duct obstruction) Proptosis (bulged eyes) Thyroid eye disease Eye tumors Ptosis Diabetic retinopathy Dry eye syndrome Glaucoma Macular degeneration Retinal detachment Endophthalmitis Refractive errors Strabismus (misalignment or deviation of eyes) Uveitis Ocular trauma Ruptured globe injury Orbital fracture The most valued pharmaceutical companies worldwide whose leading products are in Ophthalmology are Regeneron (United States) for AMD treatment and Bausch Health (Canada) for Front of eye.
