Question 8

What should I look for in an ophthalmology specialist?

Accepted Answer

The first thing to look for in your ophthalmologist will be their qualification. The minimum requirement is that they have completed their 5-year MBBS degree and followed it by a post-graduate specialization in ophthalmology (MS Ophthalmology).

Once you have verified their qualification and license, the next thing to look for is reviews from previous patients. Good doctors leave behind a trail of satisfied patients. Most importantly, choose someone you feel comfortable sharing your problems with and someone who takes the time to solve them for you.

Question 9

How should I prepare for my ophthalmology appointment?

Accepted Answer

The main criteria of any medical checkup are explaining your issues to the doctor and getting a solution. The same principle applies to an ophthalmology appointment. Start with carrying previous medical records, especially components such as previously done imaging or power prescriptions. 

Explain the issues faced, such as the issues with vision, pain, inability to change focus, etc. Mention any previous injuries you may have had in the past, whether directly to your eyes or nearby areas. Also, it is wise to mention general hygiene habits that may be directly relevant to the health of your eyes. Doing these small steps will allow the doctor to give you a more accurate prescription any day.
