Royal College of Ophthalmologists

Ophthalmology is the medical and surgical management of conditions of the eye and visual system.

Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who examine, diagnose and treat diseases and injuries in and around the eye, including carrying out eye surgery.

The Royal College of Ophthalmologists champions excellence in the practice of ophthalmology. We are the only professional membership body for medically qualified ophthalmologists and for those who are undergoing specialist training to become ophthalmologists.
