An ocular surgeon is a medical professional who specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the eyes. They perform various surgical procedures to correct vision problems, remove cataracts, and address other eye disorders. Ocular surgeons often work closely with optometrists and ophthalmologists to provide comprehensive eye care. These surgeons typically complete extensive training, including medical school and a residency in ophthalmology. They may also pursue additional fellowship training in specific areas, such as retina or cornea surgery. Their expertise is crucial for maintaining and improving patients' vision and overall eye health.
