The eye is perhaps the most significant sense organ an individual possesses. Lose it, and you irreversibly enter a realm of eternal darkness. It almost takes out all the hope in you, leaving you frustrated; more so if you once had possessed this gift in the past. So, it is hardly surprising that futuristic advancements are made in the fields of eye-examinations and treatments, in India and abroad.
Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that deals with the structure, internal structure and diseases of the human eye. A specialist in medical and surgical eye problems is called an ophthalmologist. Since they perform operations on eyes, they are both surgical and medical in nature of specialists. A large number of diseases and conditions can be inferred from the eye. India is playing a major role here, and is also one of the global leaders in this field. Delhi, near the National capital, is fast culturing this field, developing state-of-the-art medicos and technologies.
In Delhi and in almost all other parts of India too, after completing MBBS degree, post graduate study in ophthalmology is required. The degrees are the Physician of Medicine, the Master of Surgery, and an optional Diploma in Ophthalmic medicine and surgery, and so on and so forth. The practice and work experience, prevalent today, is in the form of a junior residency at a medical college, eye hospital or institution under the supervision of experienced senior medicos. Further work experience in the form of fellowship or senior resident, does refine the skill of these junior and budding eye surgeons.These highly trained specialists are truly thus proving themselves to be indispensable. They can bring back the sight to the blind. They are the saviours of our eyes. They are the ophthalmologists. By - Rounak Bose
