OPHTHALMOLOGY
VISION CARE
Even if you have near-perfect vision,
regular eye exams help your doctor
spot signs of problems early. That
way, you can treat them before they
damage your sight
APOLLO HOSPITALS
“While nonmedical optometric practitioners
(optometrists) provide basic vision care services, only
ophthalmologists are trained, certified and regulated
within the field of medicine to diagnose and manage
all eye diseases. Optometrists can diagnose some eye
conditions and prescribe medications. Only
ophthalmologists, who’ve attended medical school, can
perform surgery. No matter which provider you choose,
find one who cares about your needs and explains
things in a way you understand.
Optometrists and
ophthalmologists
aren’t the same
Your eye doctor says you’re 20/20. This refers to your
central vision—what you see when you look straight
ahead. However, your side vision, night vision, or color
vision could still be impaired. Some potentially blinding
eye diseases, such as glaucoma or diabetic
retinopathy, can take years to develop. During this time,
they are harming parts of the inner eye, but the central
vision can remain unaffected.
20/20? Your eyes
still aren’t perfect
Cigarettes make you prone to eye conditions like
cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Your
eye doctor needs to know whether you’re at risk. “The
better we understand your condition and risks, the
better we can help you protect your vision. The benefit
of quitting smoking is dramatic. “After quitting smoking,
the risks for these eye diseases become almost as low
as for people who have never smoked.”
You need to tell me
about your
smoking habit
Your overall health
is linked to your
eye health
Don’t keep your health history a secret. “Patients
receiving an eye exam often downplay conditions that
could point to serious eye diseases. “Not sharing health
issues, such as heart disease, diabetes, or mental
illness, can be detrimental to your vision.” Digestive,
metabolic, inflammatory, joint, muscular, and breathing
disorders—almost all of these have consequences for
your eyes and should be discussed.
Don’t ignore
symptoms, even if
they appear and
disappear quickly
If you lose vision in one eye—even for just a few
moments—call your ophthalmologist or go the
emergency room) right away. This could indicate a
transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke). Other signs of
trouble that warrant immediate attention include
flashing lights, floaters (cobwebs or speck-like objects
in your line of sight), and double vision. These are signs
of serious problems that require fast treatment.
During a comprehensive eye exam, your eye doctor will
put drops in your eyes to make your pupils bigger. This
way, he or she can see into the back of your eye and
spot vision problems early, before they cause
symptoms. Your vision may be blurry or sensitive to light
for a few hours afterward. A patient may find it better
to have someone with them to drive.
Be prepared to
have your eyes
dilated
