Eye care
Ophthalmology is the care of the eyes and vision. Eye doctors test eyesight, prescribe glasses, and treat cataract, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and eye infections.
What it treats
- Blurred vision and glasses
- Cataract
- Glaucoma
- Diabetic eye disease
- Red, itchy or watery eyes
- Squint and lazy eye in children
When to see a doctor
- Sudden loss or change of vision (an emergency)
- Every year if you have diabetes
- Children who hold books close or squint
In an emergency call 108 or 112 in India, or 911 in the United States.
Good to know
- Glaucoma can steal sight without pain: get checked after 40
- Rest your eyes from screens every 20 minutes
- Never use leftover eye drops without advice
