(MENAFN- Coherent Market Insights) Ophthalmology is the medical field that specializes in the study of the retina and its functions. It also includes cornea and glaucoma detection and management. Ophthalmology also includes diagnostic procedures such as corneal biopsy: topography (hexagram), fluorescein angiography, laser-assisted iridotomy, refractive surgery, confocal fluorescence, and ophthalmoscope, to name a few. Ophthalmology can be further subdivided into specialized areas such as optometry or ophthalmology surgery, which deals with eye surgeries.
Ophthalmology diagnostics and surgical devices are devices that can help doctors diagnose diseases and disorders easily. These instruments, which are commonly referred to as ophthalmological diagnostics and surgical devices, include Computerized tomography scanners, computed tomography scanners, laser radiography instruments, refractive instruments, optical coherence tomography instruments, and intraocular cameras. An ophthalmologist is a doctor who specializes in the care of eyes. Refractive and laser ophthalmology are subspecialties in ophthalmology that focus on the manipulation of the eye's structures. Both these subspecialties are concerned with the visual correction properties of the eye.
They correct eye defects, increase sharpness and allow for clearer vision. Both of these subspecialties are concerned with myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism eye diseases.
Cosmetic ophthalmology deals with surgical procedures that improve the appearance of the eyes. The two that fall under this category are eyelid surgery and blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty is the procedure of removing the wrinkles on the eyes.
Ophthalmology can be divided further into two main sub-disciplines namely diagnostic ophthalmology, which mainly treats patients who are diagnosed with visual problems, and medical ophthalmology, which mainly treats patients who need surgical procedures to correct their visual system defects. Diagnostic ophthalmology mostly deals with age-related diseases and neurological disorders. Medical ophthalmology generally deals with any type of disease affecting the visual system. Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first AI-enabled ophthalmology diagnostic device for diabetic retinopathy (DR).
