Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that covers the diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions. These include vision problems, injury, mild eye diseases like conjunctivitis, and also more serious eye conditions that can lead to vision loss such as macular degeneration and glaucoma.
An ophthalmologist is able to evaluate and consider your personal risk of disease, advise on the proper health screenings at the right times, and perform the appropriate medical or surgical treatment. An early visit to any of our eye specialist in PJ can help prevent vision degeneration with early detection and suitable treatment.
