Topic: Ophthalmology


  
  Ophthalmology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine which deals with the diseases and surgery of the visual pathways, including the eye and brain.
The word ophthalmology comes from the Greek roots ophthalmos meaning eye and logos meaning word; ophthalmology literally means "The science of eyes." As a discipline it applies to animal eyes also, since the differences from human practice are surprisingly minor and are related mainly to differences in anatomy or prevalence, not differences in disease processes.
Ophthalmology was the first branch of medicine to offer board certification, now a standard practice among all specialties.
