Ophthalmology

What is Ophthalmology?

Ophthalmology is a medical specialty dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of eye conditions and diseases. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors trained to care for the eyes and visual system, helping patients maintain healthy vision throughout life.

At KBMC, our ophthalmologists treat a wide range of eye conditions, including:

• Refractive errors (short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism)

• Cataracts

• Glaucoma

• Diabetic eye disease (diabetic retinopathy)

• Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)

• Eye infections and injuries

• Pediatric eye problems (lazy eye, squint)

Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools and treatment options — from comprehensive eye exams and vision screening to laser therapy and surgical procedures — to protect and restore eyesight.
