When to consult an ophthalmologist
Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who diagnose and treat eye disease and perform eye surgery — cataract, glaucoma, retinal disease, squint and injury. They differ from optometrists, who test sight and dispense glasses but do not operate. Sudden loss of vision is an emergency and should not wait for a scheduled appointment.
- Vision blurring, dimming, or a curtain across part of it
- Cataract assessment or surgery
- Raised eye pressure, or a family history of glaucoma
- Diabetic retinal screening
- Redness, pain, watering or a foreign body that persists
