Ophthalmology
Treatment for Eye Injuries & Disease
An ophthalmologist is a doctor who specializes in vision and eye care. While your optometrist performs primary eye care services such as vision exams, an ophthalmologist focuses on treatments for serious eye injuries or diseases. At St. Croix Health, our ophthalmologists offer both medical and surgical treatments for conditions of the eye.
Conditions treated by an ophthalmologist include:
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
- Retinal Disease
- Age-Related Macular Degeneration
- Diabetic Eye Disease
- Physical deformities of the eye (oculoplastic treatments)
- Specialized injections
Our ophthalmologists can also prescribe eyeglasses and contacts as needed.
