Ophthalmology and Optometry

Ophthalmology is defined as a branch of science that compacts with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are trained to care for all eye problems and circumstances. Eye surgeries are usually done on the eye or its adnexa by an ophthalmologist. An ophthalmologist is accountable for selecting the correct surgical process for the treating a patient. Optometry is also a health care profession that emphasis on examining the eyes for any defects or abnormalities. Usually, the world of optometry coined with the primary focus of modifying refractive error through the use of glasses. Modern-day optometry, however, has advanced through time to include substantial training within the diagnosis and management of ocular disease.
