About Ophthalmologist Doctors

Conditions Treated by an Ophthalmologist

Cataract

Clouding of the eye's natural lens causing blurry vision. The most common cause of treatable blindness in India.

Glaucoma

Increased eye pressure damaging the optic nerve, causing irreversible vision loss if untreated.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Damage to retinal blood vessels from diabetes — leading cause of blindness in working-age adults.

Dry Eye Disease

Insufficient tear production or poor tear quality causing eye discomfort. Very common with screen use.

Refractive Errors

Focusing problems — myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia.

Eye Health Tips

  • Follow the 20-20-20 rule for screen use

How to Prepare for Your Ophthalmologist Visit

Before Your Visit

During the Appointment

  • Mention any changes in vision — even minor ones
  • Report screen time habits — hours per day and device types
  • Discuss any diabetes, hypertension, or autoimmune conditions
  • Ask about UV protection — sunglasses with UV filter are important

After the Visit

  6. 6.Should I consider LASIK or lens replacement?
