Ophthalmology and Optometry

The field of ophthalmology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. The profession of ophthalmology encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of all eye disorders. Ophthalmologists usually perform surgery on the eye or the adnexa of the eye. The responsibility of an ophthalmologist is to choose the correct surgical procedure to treat a patient. A doctor of optometry also examines the eyes for any anomalies or defects. The world of optometry traditionally focused on reducing refractive error through the use of spectacles. Optometry has advanced through time to include significant training within the diagnosis and management of ocular diseases.
