Ophthalmology

The eye; its surrounding structures and the visual pathway may be affected by a great variety of clinical conditions.

Their successful management depends on the ophthalmologist combining the diagnostic and therapeutic abilities of a physician and technical skills of a micro surgeon with an understanding of the whole patient.
