The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends timely vision and eye health screening for the detection and early treatment of eye problems in children and adults. Certain infectious, congenital and hereditary eye diseases may be present at birth or develop later in life. Eye examinations by an ophthalmologist (a medical doctor who specializes in medical and surgical eye care) are very important for the continued health of your eyes.
An ophthalmologist - Eye M.D. - is a medical or osteopathic doctor who specializes in eye and vision care. Ophthalmologists differ from optometrists and opticians in their levels of training and in what they can diagnose and treat. As a medical doctor who has completed college and at least eight years of additional medical training, an ophthalmologist is licensed to practice medicine and surgery.
