General information on medical treatment
Ophthalmology deals with medical conditions related to eye health and impairments in visual function. Among other things, ophthalmologists treat problems such as eye infections and inflammations, disorders of the visual field, nerve-related vision problems, eye diseases (glaucoma, keratoconus, cataracts, etc.), problems in various parts of the eye (cornea, retina, etc.), and refractive errors, among others. Typically, an ophthalmologist also specializes in specific subfields related to the field of ophthalmology, such as neuro-ophthalmology (the connection between the brain and the eye).
It's important to emphasize that an ophthalmologist is not an optometrist or an optician. These are entirely different fields. However, if you experience any eye or vision problems, it is recommended to first consult an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and further treatment.
