Optometry

Optimetry is a another type of health care profession which deals with eye and its related structures along with vision and visual system. Optometry person differs from the ophthalmic surgeon on the bases of their training and diagnose.

Ocular Immunology

Ocular immunology is branch of medicine which deals with diagnosis the eye and treating the patients with inflammatory eye diseases and also deals with immunology impacts several eye diseases and disorders.

Visual Impairment

Vision science is the scientific study of vision. Vision science encloses all studies of vision, such as how human and non-human organisms’ process visual information, how conscious visual perception works in humans, how to exploit visual perception for effective communication, and how artificial systems can do the same tasks. Vision science overlaps with or encompasses disciplines such as ophthalmology and optometry, neuroscience, psychology, optics and computer vision, etc.

Surgical Ophthalmology

It is branch of medicine deals with surgical procedure performed by the ophthalmologist. They are several surgical procedure deals by the ophthalmologist such as cataract surgery.

Cataract

Cataract is nothing but a clouding of the lens in the eye that leads to decrease in the vision. It may affect both eyes or one eye.

Refractive Surgery

It is a surgical remodeling the refractive state of eye to eliminate dependency of glasses or contact lens. They are different types of refractive sugery to improve the vision such as Lasik surgery.

External Eye Diseases
