Synopsis
:
Ophthalmology is a large subject for a very small organ: it is the
medical and surgical care of the eye (Figures 1.1 and 1.2), the adjacent
adnexal and periocular area and the visual system. It encompasses
the upper and mid-face, eyebrows and eyelids, lacrimal system and
orbit, as well as the globe and eye muscles, optic nerve and nervous
connections all the way back to the visual cortex. Many medical conditions
have ocular features as their first presentation, for example
in diabetes, cardiovascular disease, rheumatology, neurology, endocrinology
and oncology. There are strong links and overlap with
maxillofacial, plastic, otolaryngological, dermatology and neurosurgery.
There
are
links
with
neuroradiology
and
pathology.
Ophthalmology
combines medical and surgical skills and uses minimally
invasive microsurgery and lasers as well as delicate plastic surgical
techniques.
