Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.
As a testament of his expertise in the field of ophthalmology, Dr. Adelman has received the “Senior Honor Award” of the American Society of Retina Specialists, the “Senior Achievement Award” of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the “M Bruce Shields Teaching Award,” and multiple leadership awards.
