Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ophthalmology and booking a ophthalmologist
What is the difference between an ophthalmologist and an optometrist?
An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who can diagnose and treat eye diseases, prescribe medications, and perform surgery. An optometrist primarily performs eye exams and prescribes corrective lenses.
How often should I get an eye exam?
Adults should have a comprehensive eye exam every 1–2 years. People with diabetes, glaucoma risk, or a family history of eye disease should have annual exams.
Is LASIK surgery safe?
LASIK is a well-established procedure with a high success rate. Your ophthalmologist will assess your candidacy based on corneal thickness, prescription stability, and overall eye health.
