Opthalmologist

 Doctors who specialize in ophthalmology Diagnostic Skills 

 Ophthalmologists are medical doctors that diagnose and treat eye diseases. They are different from optometrists, who can only test patients' eyesight and prescribe glasses. Ophthalmologists can test people's eyesight, but they also diagnose eye conditions and diseases such as glaucoma or cataract issues. They use various tests, such as angiographies and orbital ultrasounds, to diagnose eye conditions. Ophthalmologists are also qualified to perform surgical procedures such as LASIK vision correction. Besides interacting with patients, ophthalmologists are responsible for the administrative tasks associated with running a practice, such as processing insurance paperwork.

Ophthalmologists undergo extensive training before practicing, just like other medical doctors. They need a bachelor's degree and a medical degree. They also need to complete an internship and a residency before earning a license to practice. Some undergo additional training to specialize in a specific eye issue, such as cornea damage ---
