Ophthalmology consultation

What is an ophthalmology consultation?

An ophthalmology consultation is a medical examination of the eyes and vision performed by an ophthalmologist. It can help detect refractive errors and eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye, retinal disorders, and other vision problems.

When do I need an ophthalmology consultation?

You should see an ophthalmologist if you experience blurred vision, eye pain, persistent redness, vision loss, difficulty seeing at night, double vision, flashes of light, an increase in floaters, or any new change in your vision. Regular eye examinations are also important even when there are no symptoms.

What specialist do I need for an ophthalmology consultation?

The appropriate specialist is an ophthalmologist, a medical doctor trained to diagnose and treat eye diseases and vision problems. Depending on the findings, the ophthalmologist may recommend glasses or contact lenses, medications, laser procedures, or surgery, or refer the patient to a subspecialist such as a retina, glaucoma, cornea, or pediatric ophthalmologist.
