Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. An ophthalmologist, like Dr. Parent, is expert in the diseases, functions and anatomy of the eye. Ophthalmologists may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, they are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract and corneal surgery.
