| | Ophthalmology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The word ophthalmology comes from the Greek roots ophthalmos meaning eye and logos meaning word; ophthalmology literally means "the science of eyes." As a discipline it applies to animal eyes also, since the differences from human practice are surprisingly minor and are related mainly to differences in anatomy or prevalence, not differences in disease processes. | | | The scope of a physician's licensure is such that he or she need not be board certified in ophthalmology to practice as an ophthalmologist. | | | Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who have completed medical school and embark on a training schedule that generally lasts three years after medical school in most countries. |
