Ophthalmology
Protecting sight with modern eye examination and surgery
Overview
Ophthalmology covers everything related to the eye — refractive errors, infections, cataract, glaucoma and retinal disease. A full examination checks not just vision but eye pressure and the health of the retina.
Many sight-threatening conditions cause no pain at all in the early stages, so periodic eye checks matter especially for people with diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of glaucoma.

Frequently asked questions
How often should eyes be tested?
Every two years for healthy adults, and yearly for anyone with diabetes, glaucoma in the family, or after the age of forty.
