Frequently asked questions
An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats eye diseases and performs surgery. An optometrist tests vision, prescribes glasses and contact lenses and screens for eye problems.
It means the doctor is registered with the Malaysian Medical Council, the body that registers medical practitioners in Malaysia. Specialists may also be listed on the National Specialist Register (NSR).
See a specialist for eye pain, sudden vision changes, diabetes or glaucoma risk, or if you are considering eye surgery. An optometrist is suitable for routine vision tests and glasses.
Bring your current glasses or contact lenses, any previous eye records, and a list of your medicines and health conditions. Some examinations use dilating drops that blur vision for several hours, so arrange for someone else to drive if you can.
