An ophthalmologist is a professional who deals with the diseases and surgery of the visual pathways, including the eye and brain. The word opthalmology comes from the Greek roots ophthalmos meaning eye and logos meaning word, thought or discourse; ophthalmology literally means ‘the science of eyes’. Here it must be kept in mind that an opthalmologist is the correct and competent person to consult when there is some problem with the eyes. Only an opthalmologist can prescribe any medicine for eye ailment or can perform corrective surgeries.
