From the American Academy of Ophthalmology :
“Your sight depends on seeing the right eye doctor at the right time. When it's time to "get your eyes checked," make sure you are seeing the right eye care professional for your needs. Ophthalmologists, and optometrists each play an important role in providing eye care to consumers. But the levels of training and expertise are quite different for each type of provider.”
Morningside Eye is a facility in Sandton, Johannesburg where Ophthalmologists and Ophthalmic Surgeons work to help people see as best as they possibly can.
If you don’t see as well as you used to, and glasses don’t seem to help, it is our job as ophthalmologists to find out why.
We also diagnose treat eye-related disease - like a painful or red eye, glaucoma, cataract, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. We perform eye surgery where necessary in order to give people their best possible vision. We receive referrals from, and refer patients to optometrists.
With access to some of the latest and most advanced equipment in the world, our ophthalmologists are able to use their specialised training to its full potential - and ultimately benefit our patients with the newest and safest eyecare management accessible anywhere in the world.
