Ophthalmic surgeon

An ophthalmic surgeon operates on patients with a range of eye conditions that include glaucoma, cataracts, detached retinas and macular degeneration. This is a technically demanding field which requires a high level of skill and manual dexterity on the part of the surgeon.

Examples of eye surgery include:

  • Laser eye surgery to correct a refractive error, e.g. short sight
  • Cataract removal
  • Implantable contact lenses
  • Corneal transplant
  • Repair a detached retina
  • Eye muscle surgery

An ophthalmic surgeon will usually specialise in a particular area, for example, implantable contact lenses. Others will treat a particular age group only, for example children.
