Ophthalmology |
Ophthalmologists are the only physicians trained to diagnose
and medically or surgically treat eye and visual disorders.
They often prescribe vision services such as glasses and contact
lenses. The ophthalmologist serves as a consultant to physicians
and other professionals.
To gain certification, ophthalmologists must pass the written
and oral examinations of the American Board of Ophthalmology. |
