Poor eyesight, blurred vision, and frequent eye infections are common problems we all have to face at some point or the other. While in some cases, a routine eye examination can identify the issue, in others, advanced clinical tests and surgical interventions are required. That’s why we need an ophthalmologist to look into that. Apart from clinical observation, doing specific eye tests such as vision assessment, refraction, slit-lamp examination, advanced microsurgery, and intra-ocular pressure measurement, an ophthalmologist also needs to educate patients and their family members, along with maintaining the patients’ records and keeping an eye on their recovery and rehabilitation. A career in ophthalmology is a demanding profession and requires aspirants to stay up-to-date with new researches, upgrade their knowledge and skills, read a lot of journals and papers.
