Clinical Ophthalmology

Clinical ophthalmology is the area of medicine that studies the physiology of the eye, eye disorders, and treatment options. Clinical ophthalmology uses clinical procedures to diagnose and treat eye disorders, and it also performs operations on the eye. Community ophthalmology allows you to receive treatment close to your home or place of employment rather than a hospital because many common eye disorders can be handled on the same day. Clinical ophthalmology focuses primarily on the investigation and understanding of a variety of eye disorders as well as the techniques used in ophthalmic patient care. It also covers, among other things, research on ophthalmic surgical techniques, translational research, and ocular medications. The fundamental research in ophthalmology is experimental ophthalmology.
