An ophthalmologist treats conditions of the eye and the structures around it — from cataract and gradually failing vision to eyelid problems, blocked tear ducts and the eye complications of diabetes.
Most people book an eye appointment for someone else. A parent who has stopped driving at night, who holds the newspaper further away each month, who says streetlights have started to look like they have rings around them. That is very likely a cataract, and it is one of the most reliably treatable conditions in medicine.
A clouding of the eye natural lens. As its proteins change with age the lens turns cloudy and yellow, and less light reaches the retina. It happens to almost everyone eventually. It is not a growth, not a film over the eye, and cannot be removed with drops.
What people notice: vision gradually hazy as though looking through a smeared window, glare and halos around headlights at night, colours washed out, needing new spectacles more often, reading requiring much brighter light.
Surgery is phacoemulsification — a 2mm incision, ultrasound to break up the lens, and a folded artificial lens placed where it was. Fifteen to twenty minutes, local anaesthesia, day procedure, usually no stitches.
The advice about waiting is out of date. Many people in Indore have been told to wait until a cataract is ripe. That made sense forty years ago when surgery required a large incision. Modern phacoemulsification is the opposite — a softer, less advanced cataract is easier and safer to remove. Waiting hardens the lens, raises complication rates, and leaves an older person at real risk of falls in the meantime.
If you have diabetes you need a dilated retinal examination once a year regardless of how good your vision feels. Diabetic retinopathy causes no symptoms early on, and by the time vision changes the damage is usually done. Unlike cataract it is not fully reversible — but caught early it can be treated and stabilised.
In adults usually age-related weakening; in children sometimes present from birth. When the lid covers part of the pupil it genuinely restricts vision, and in children it can interfere with visual development, so it is not something to leave.
Constant tearing is usually a blocked tear duct rather than excess tears. It responds well to surgery, and few people realise it is fixable at all.
The eyelid turning inward or outward, common in older people. Inward-turning lashes rub the cornea and can scar it; outward-turning leaves the eye exposed and sore. Both are correctable.
Most are harmless, some need removal, occasionally one needs a biopsy. Any lid lump that grows, bleeds, or distorts the lash line should be seen.

Some symptoms should not wait for an appointment:
These can indicate retinal detachment, a blocked retinal artery, or acute glaucoma. Go to an eye emergency department, not a booking form.
