What Is the Meaning of an Ophthalmologist, and When Should You See One? - #15436
I recently came across the term ophthalmologist, and I wanted to understand more about what they do. From what I understand, an ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specializes in eye health, vision problems, and eye surgeries, but how do they differ from an optometrist or an optician? I read that ophthalmologists treat conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal disorders, but when should someone visit an ophthalmologist instead of a general eye doctor? Are they only necessary for serious conditions, or can they also help with routine eye care and vision correction? One thing that concerns me is that many eye diseases show no symptoms in the early stages. What are the best ways to detect eye problems early, and what routine tests do ophthalmologists perform to check vision and eye health? Are there any Ayurvedic remedies or natural ways to support eye health and prevent vision deterioration? I’ve heard that Triphala, Amla, and Brahmi are beneficial for improving eyesight—do these actually work? If anyone has visited an ophthalmologist, what was your experience like? Did they help diagnose an issue early, or was it for a routine check-up?
