What is an Ophthalmology Doctor?
UberDoc Ophthalmologists are leading board-certified experts in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions, diseases, and injuries affecting the eye.

One of the most common eye surgeries performed by Ophthalmic Surgeons is cataract surgery. As the eye ages, a thin layer of scar forms over the eye and creates a cloudiness of the lens. Cataract surgery is performed in outpatient surgery centers and recovery is rapid.
Ophthalmologists treat all types of eye conditions, such as infections, corneal abrasions, and blurred vision.
Ophthalmologists also provide expert eye and vision exams using the latest technology and provide eyeglasses prescriptions, contact lens fittings, and contact lens prescriptions for patients of all ages (adult and pediatric Ophthalmology).
Preventative, periodic visits to an Ophthalmologist are important to maintain vision health and to allow early detection of more serious conditions that can result in permanent vision loss.
Save time, save money, and get the expert eye and vision care you need to be well. Find and book the best Ophthalmologist near you on UberDoc today.

How is an ophthalmologist different from an optometrist?
An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who can perform eye surgery in addition to diagnosing and treating eye diseases. Optometrists primarily provide vision correction and basic eye care but do not perform surgery.
+
What eye conditions does an ophthalmologist treat?
An ophthalmologist treats cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, corneal disease, and strabismus, and can perform corrective surgeries such as LASIK and cataract removal.
+
How often should I see an ophthalmologist?
Adults over 40 or those with risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of glaucoma should see an ophthalmologist every 1–2 years. Anyone experiencing sudden vision changes should seek care promptly
