What is Ophthalmology Department?

In an Ophthalmology department, a variety of procedures are performed to diagnose, treat, and manage eye conditions and vision problems.

Here are some common procedures

  • Comprehensive Eye Exam - A thorough examination to assess vision, eye health, and the presence of eye diseases.
  • Visual Field Testing - Evaluating peripheral vision to detect conditions like glaucoma or retinal diseases.
  • Ophthalmoscopy - Using an ophthalmoscope to examine the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels in the eye.
  • Tonometry - Measuring intraocular pressure to screen for glaucoma.
  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) - A non-invasive imaging test that provides cross-sectional images of the retina to assess conditions like macular degeneration.

  • Prescription of Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses - Determining the appropriate corrective lenses for refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
  • Medication Administration - Prescribing topical or systemic medications for eye conditions, including glaucoma, infections, or allergies.

  • Cataract Surgery - Removing the cloudy lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
  • Laser Surgery
    • LASIK - A laser procedure to correct refractive errors by reshaping the cornea.
    • PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) - Another laser procedure for correcting vision, suitable for patients with thinner corneas.
    • YAG Laser Capsulotomy - A laser procedure to treat cloudy vision after cataract surgery by clearing the capsule around the IOL.
  • Glaucoma Surgery - Procedures such as trabeculectomy or tube shunt surgery to reduce intraocular pressure.
  • Retinal Surgery - Techniques like vitrectomy to treat retinal detachment or other retinal disorders.

  • Foreign Body Removal - Addressing ocular injuries by removing foreign objects from the eye.
  • Chemical Burns Treatment - Immediate interventions to rinse and treat chemical burns to the eye.
