An ophthalmologist (oculist) is a specialist who deals with the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases of the eye and optic nerve. Ophthalmologists of the highest category conduct the reception at the Center.
We receive 90% of the information through the visual analyzer — the eyes.
In which cases do they contact an ophthalmologist
Inflammatory and chronic eye diseases, household injuries, and decreased visual acuity require immediate treatment by an ophthalmologist (optometrist).
You should contact this specialist in the following cases:
• you have begun to notice that your eyesight has deteriorated;
• strange pain sensations appeared in the area of the eyes (eyeballs);
• tears are constantly flowing from the eyes, purulent discharge is bothering;
• suddenly you can't see objects clearly near or far;
• bright or sunny light causes discomfort;
• worried about the flashing of "flies" in front of the eyes, the appearance of iridescent circles, colored spots;
• there was an unusual pain in the forehead and temples;
• you had an eye injury;
• you feel that there is a foreign body in the eye;
• eyelids are red, swollen, inflamed and sore;
• feel uncomfortable wearing your own glasses;
• you are planning a pregnancy or are already pregnant.
If there are no complaints, it is recommended to periodically undergo a preventive examination by an ophthalmologist.
Those who have already turned 40 years old need an ophthalmologist's consultation once a year to exclude cataracts and glaucoma. Constant vision monitoring is necessary for those who suffer from diabetes mellitus.
In addition, those who have decided to start using contact lenses should undergo a vision diagnosis by a specialist.
Do not delay visiting a doctor if you notice any symptoms of visual impairment, eye diseases often develop rapidly and can lead to serious consequences, vision may be lost, and then it is difficult (and sometimes impossible) to restore it.
