Its clinical aspects include evaluating and diagnosing vision disorders, performing eye surgery, providing healthcare for eye diseases and injuries, and providing guidance about preventative measures to protect vision. Ophthalmology is a critical specialty for maintaining the health of the eyes and vision, and it can directly impact a person’s quality of life.
