Training undertaken by Ophthalmologists.

These medical professionals dedicate their lives to assisting individuals in perceiving the world with clarity. Their professional trajectory unfolds as follows:

They commence their academic journey by embarking on a medical school program, where they acquire an MD/MBBS/MBCHB,degree, requiring at least four years of dedicated learning.

Following medical school, they complete a general medical training internship, which provides them with a comprehensive foundation in diverse medical specialties.

However, the true expertise lies in their entry into hospital-based residency training. This phase entails a focus on medical and surgical eye care for a minimum of three years.

Many ophthalmologists choose to extend their professional development beyond this initial phase by pursuing additional fellowship training in specific areas of eye care, such as retina, cornea, glaucoma, paediatrics, neuro-ophthalmology, or oculoplastics.

This additional training period can span one to two years or more, further enhancing their expertise within their respective fields.

What is an Ophthalmologist?

An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specializes in eye and vision care. Ophthalmologist differ from optometrists and opticians in their levels of training and in what they can diagnose and treat.

The levels of training and expertise—and what they are allowed to do for you—are the major difference between types of eye care professionals. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor, and the only eye doctor with a medical degree.

An ophthalmologist diagnoses and treats ALL eye diseases, performs eye surgery, and prescribes and fits eyeglasses and contact lenses to correct vision problems. Many ophthalmologists are also involved in scientific research on the causes and cures for eye diseases and vision disorders. Because they are medical doctors, ophthalmologists can sometimes recognize other health problems that aren't directly related to the eye, and refer those patients to the right medical doctors for treatment.

Some ophthalmologists specialize further in a specific area of medical or surgical eye care. This person is called a subspecialist. He or she usually completes one or two years of additional, more in-depth training in one of the main subspecialty areas such as Glaucoma, Retina, Cornea, Pediatrics, Neurology, Oculo-Plastic Surgery or others. This added training and knowledge prepares an ophthalmologist to take care of more complex or specific conditions in certain areas of the eye or in certain groups of patients.

What are the glaucoma symptoms?

Most times there are no symptoms. Some few patients often report non specific symptoms like ocular discomfort, blurred vision, misty vision, and for those who are keen obsevers might report compressed peripheral vision. Sometimes it is picked as an incidental finding during a medical eye exam.

For those who have very high intra ocular pressures, they might report the following symptoms;

– halos (rainbows) around lights,

– loss of vision in one eye,

– cloudy looking eyes,

– sensitivity to light,

– severe and sudden eye pain.

In a nutshell, glaucoma is largely asymptomatic and hence it’s called “a silent thief of sight”. It is wise to always get your eyes checked for baseline examination by an ophthalmologist.

For those who are over 40 years, an annual eye exam by an ophthalmologist is advised.
