About Ophthalmology
Ophthalmologists are eye doctors who perform surgery and treat diseases of the eye. Procedures include cataract surgery, LASIK and refractive surgery, glaucoma treatment, retinal surgery, and corneal transplantation. Leading ophthalmologists utilize femtosecond laser technology, micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), and gene therapy for retinal diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find an ophthalmology doctor near me?
Use the search box on this page to filter ophthalmology doctors by state, or pick a state from the list below to see the ophthalmology doctors listed there. Each profile shows the doctor's specialty, primary practice city and NPI number from the national NPI Registry. Open a profile and use the Send Inquiry form to request a consultation, which is free for patients on The Doctor Directory.
What conditions are linked to ophthalmology on The Doctor Directory?
The Doctor Directory links ophthalmology to conditions such as Cataracts, Detached Retina, Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma and LASIK Candidacy. Each condition page lists doctors associated with that condition so you can compare profiles. Which conditions an individual doctor treats, and the right treatment for you, should be confirmed with the doctor's office and discussed with a licensed clinician.
How can I check an ophthalmology doctor's credentials?
Start with the NPI number on the doctor's profile and look it up in the NPPES NPI Registry to see the credential, specialty taxonomy and practice address on file. To confirm an active medical license and any public disciplinary actions, search the state medical board's license lookup. Board certification in Ophthalmology is checked separately through the certifying board, for example the ABMS Certification Matters search.
Is it free to contact an ophthalmology doctor through The Doctor Directory?
Yes. Searching The Doctor Directory, viewing profiles and sending a consultation request are free for patients. The request is submitted through the form on the doctor's profile, and the practice decides whether it can schedule you. The Doctor Directory is a listing service and does not provide medical care or medical advice, so call 911 or go to an emergency room for urgent symptoms.
