Job Description
Diagnosing and treating eye diseases and injuries. Managing emergency eye clinics, outpatient clinics, or other specialist eye clinics. Treating medical disorders that affect the vision through a holistic approach. Using therapeutic procedures and performing biopsies.
As an ophthalmologist you'll have specialist skills in the diagnosis, treatment, management and prevention of diseases of the eye and visual system. You'll deal with a range of conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma, squints, eye injuries, infectious eye diseases and degenerative conditions resulting from ageing. You'll manage patients of all ages, from premature babies to the elderly, with acute and long-term eye conditions.
You may work in a variety of settings including outpatient clinics, operating theatres where you'll conduct surgery, laser eye surgery clinics and community clinics. There's also a limited amount of ward-based work available.
You can also work as a medical ophthalmologist if you're trained in general medicine as well as ophthalmology. As a medical ophthalmologist, you'll manage eye disorders that are specifically related to whole-body disease, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis and stroke. You'll treat the patient as a whole - not just their eye condition.
Responsibilities
Ophthalmology is a blend of both medicine and surgery. As an ophthalmologist you'll need to:
assess and examine patients in order to make a diagnosis
manage ophthalmic conditions, taking into account both the medical and psychological aspects of patient care
manage busy general outpatient clinics, emergency eye clinics and specialist clinics
do occasional ward rounds (most ophthalmic patients have day surgery and don't stay in hospital overnight)
work as part of a multidisciplinary team that includes optometrists, orthoptists and nurses, as well as with specialists such as neurologists, ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgeons, paediatricians and geneticists
operate equipment such as ophthalmoscopes, slit lamps and lenses
carry out eye surgery using, for example, an operating microscope or laser surgery
provide advice and reassurance to patients and family members
educate patients to help them understand their medical condition
handle legal documentation for the certification of patients as blind or partially sighted
support health promotion and disease prevention activities.
