At D R Eye Care Centre, General ophthalmologists are often the first doctors on our team to see patients for periodic medical eye exams as well as for specific visual or ocular complaints. They take care of a variety of conditions, such as diabetes, dry eyes, cataracts and glaucoma. General Ophthalmologists evaluate a large range of symptoms such as blurry vision, poor night vision, transient loss of vision, loss of visual field, sudden loss of vision, difficulty with near vision, eye pain, red eyes, eye fatigue, fluctuating vision, itching or burning, crusts or discharge, excess tearing, double vision and itching or redness of the eyelids. Often patients are referred to a General ophthalmologist at the D R Eye Care Centre by an internist, family practice doctor, endocrinologist, neurologist, dermatologist, pediatrician or another medical specialist in the community. Usually, a full medical eye exam begins with refraction (checking whether vision can be improved with a new pair of glasses), checking eye pressure, checking ocular alignment and motility and examining the anterior structures of the eye with a specialized slit lamp bio-microscope. A full examination often includes dilation of the pupils so that the posterior structure of the eye, such as the retina and optic nerve, can be examined. When findings raise the suspicion for pathologic conditions, special ancillary testing may be performed to provide additional information. General ophthalmologists perform comprehensive eye examinations and surgical evaluations. General ophthalmologists are Eye MDs who provide a broad spectrum of eye care, from vision care (evaluating visual changes and prescribing glasses) to diagnosing and treating eye disease.
