What Ophthalmologists Do
Yasaira Rodriguez, MD is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and a fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Ophthalmologists are physicians – either medical doctors (MDs) or doctors of osteopathy (ODs). They are specialists in the medical and surgical treatment of eye injuries and eye diseases.
They complete four years of college, four years of medical school and one year of internship. They also spend at least three years in an approved surgical residency program in ophthalmology.
Most ophthalmologists are licensed and trained for complex and delicate eye surgery, such as cataract removal, lens implants and laser vision correction, and also correct vision problems with eyeglasses and contact lenses.
It’s important to verify whether an ophthalmologist who claims to be board certified is actually certified. Visit the Certification Matters website, managed by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), which provides up-to-date information. You can also reach them by phone at (866) 275-2267.
