About
Dr Peter Ambrose is a highly sought after and recommended Ophthalmologist with the following Qualifications:
- MBChB (UFS)
- MMed Ophth (UFS)
- FCS Ophth (SA)
Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who have undergone specialist training to diagnose and treat conditions involving the eyes and vision.
They perform a wide range of medical and vision tests, minor office procedures, and some surgeries.
When giving a comprehensive eye exam, an ophthalmologist will assess your vision and, if needed, find your eyeglass/contact lens prescription. They will test how your pupils respond to light, check the alignment of your eyes, and make sure the muscles that move your eyes are working properly. They will look for any early signs of eye problems such as cataracts or glaucoma and examine the back of your eye (retina) and optic nerve.
Ophthalmologists diagnose and treat injuries, infections, diseases, and disorders of the eye. Treatments can include medication taken orally (by mouth) or topically (in the eye), surgery, cryotherapy (freeze treatment), and chemotherapy (chemical treatment).
When should you visit an Ophthalmologist?
- Loss of vision or decreased vision in one or both of your eyes
- Seeing sudden spots, flashes of light
- Seeing lightning streaks or jagged lines of light, distortions or wavy lines
- Having wavy or watery vision, or seeing blurry faces, haloes around lights, double vision
