what is Ophthalmology?
Ophthalmology is the technical term for the study of eye diseases. It includes the prevention, diagnosis and medical treatment of diseases related to the organ of vision. Read here what ophthalmology makes possible and what ophthalmologists specifically deal with.
The medical term “ophthalmology” is derived from the Greek. It is made up of “Ophthalmos” (eye) and “logos” (word) and means something like “the word, the talk of the eye”. The beginnings of the doctrine of the eye, better known to most as ophthalmology, can be traced back to the Babylonians. This makes it one of the longest existing medical sub-disciplines. Ophthalmology deals with both disorders in visual perception as well as diseases and injuries of the eye as an organ – the eyelid over the eye socket to the skull back where the visual cortex(Visual cortex) Part of the cerebrum located in the back of the head; enables visual impressions (visual cortex) to where the sitting and optic tract (tract optic nerve) ranges.
What is an ophthalmologist?
The ophthalmologist (ophthalmologist) is the specialist in ophthalmology (ophthalmology). His areas of expertise are diseases and functional disorders of the eye, the appendix organs and the optic nerve up to the visual cortex in the brain, the processing center of vision. Based on the diagnosis, he decides on the appropriate medical treatments and forms of therapy.
The tasks of the ophthalmologist or ophthalmologist include advice and preventive examinations ( vision school , glaucoma ), and above all the treatment of visual disorders and eye diseases. Possible remedies and aids are medication such as eye drops or eye ointment, eye patches (occlusion therapy) or the prescription of visual aids such as glasses or contact lenses.
Ophthalmologist – duties and responsibilities
Ophthalmology is one of the oldest medical disciplines. The eye is one of the most important and complex human sensory organs. The anatomy of the eye includes both mechanical-functional and neural structures. The ophthalmologist’s area of responsibility is correspondingly extensive.
In addition to recognizing and treating diseases and functional disorders of the eyes, ophthalmology has close links to other fields such as ENT medicine, dermatology and neurology. Ophthalmologists are often asked to prepare ophthalmological findings as experts in order to confirm or exclude the diagnosis or suspected diagnosis in patients from other specialist disciplines, such as internal medicine or neurology.
