Ophthalmology-Providing the gift of sight



Diseases related to the eye are some of the most common diseases in medical science. It is due to obvious reasons, firstly, it cannot be covered and secondly, it is so delicate that just a finger peck can seriously hamper the vision of a person for a lifetime. But just like any other disease or infection, medical science has an answer to this as well and the name of that answer is ophthalmology. 

Ophthalmology is the branch of medical science that deals with the anatomy, treatment and cure for diseases and infections related to the human eye. An ophthalmologist caters to both general as well as surgical needs for the treatment of the disease. This makes this one of the most diverse and well respected branch in medical field.Being an ophthalmologist is a highly satisfying experience as there is a huge sense of gratification on being a sight restorer. After all, what can be better than giving the person one of the most cherished gifts, which is the gift of sight.

Combine that with less demanding working hours and lack of emergencies in this field and we almost get the perfect job that everyone so craves and desires.Although the present situation of this branch in India could be better, the future looks to be promising. Currently, India is looking unable to cope up with the demand for people in this field but that could soon change for the better due to concerted efforts by government and people alike. By - Vatsal
