The second step is consultation with an ophthalmologist. Your eye doctor will conduct a total examination of all parts of your eye, using a magnifying instrument called as "Slit Lamp," which permits a thorough examination of the posterior (back) and anterior (front) parts of the eye.

The doctor might conduct more tests to be completed during the same visit. Alternatively, you may have to undergo other tests outside the practice such as CT scan, blood tests, etc.

At the conclusion of the exam, your eye doctor will usually reach a diagnosis. Treatment options will be discussed including the application of drops, undergoing procedures like laser, surgery, or injections.
