What is an
ophthalmologist?
An ophthalmologist is a physician who specializes in the medical and
surgical care of the eyes and visual system and in the prevention of eye
disease and injury. They provide a full spectrum of care including routine
eye exams, diagnosis and medical treatment of eye disorders and diseases,
prescriptions for eyeglasses, surgery, and management of eye problems that
are caused by systemic illnesses.
Ophthalmologists are licensed by a state regulatory board to practice
medicine and surgery. In addition, they are board certified, which means
that they have passed a rigorous two-part examination that tests their
knowledge and ability to provide expert care.
