1. What is ophthalmology?

This is a department that deals with common eye diseases. According to WHO statistics, humans have at least one eye disease throughout their lives, and one billion individuals worldwide suffer from visual issues like myopia or hyperopia, the majority of whom are 50s or older. To stop the progression of eye disorders into more serious issues like depression or decreased work participation, ophthalmology treats these early conditions and avoids their symptoms.

Eye tests, such as retinal measurements and fundus examination, are performed when signs and symptoms are present to help detect potential eye diseases such as visual impairment, tumors, or brain tumors.

2. Physiological functions of the eyes

The eye is the primary organ of the visual system and is involved in picture acquisition as well as the formation of electrical signals that direct the visual nerve. At the level of the brain’s visual cortex, these signals are “translated,” producing processed pictures that enable us to make sense of our environment. The human eyes are the brain’s main source of information about the outside world. About seventy percent of the information is visually translated. The viewable area of a person is around 220° horizontally and 140° vertically. Thus, we can see color, form, movement, and direction in our environment because of our eyes.

3. Diseases seen at the ophthalmology clinic

In this modern time, ocular disorders are becoming more common due to increased contact with electronic devices, green lights, and smog. Now, myopia, dry eyes, cataracts, conjunctivitis, and eye injuries are among the frequent conditions associated with the eyes. There is an increase in complications including reduced eyesight and possibly blindness.
