An Ophthalmologist diagnoses and treats eye conditions through examinations, prescriptions and surgeries like cataract removal or laser procedures. You might work in hospitals, clinics or private practices, using advanced equipment to assess and manage patient vision, and advising on prevention and eye health.
Ophthalmologists are key to preserving and restoring sight. You’ll need precision, problem-solving skills and excellent hand–eye coordination, along with compassion and clear communication. You’ll work with other healthcare professionals to provide thorough eye care.
