Ophthalmologist in Medellín
Consultation, a complete eye exam and a connection with the subspecialist your case needs
Ophthalmology is not just one thing. Behind the word there are different subspecialties: the surgeon who operates on a cataract is not necessarily the one who operates on a retina, and glaucoma has its own specialist. MDE Care is not a clinic: we listen to what is happening to you, connect you with the right ophthalmologist at accredited clinics in Medellín and arrange appointments, tests and your quote from the first message.

Book an assessmentWhat a complete eye exam includes
It is not just reading letters on a chart. A complete eye exam checks how you see and also how the inside of the eye looks, which is where the conditions that do not hurt or give warning show up.
Visual acuity and refraction
How well you see and which prescription would help you see better.
Slit lamp exam
A check of the surface and the front segment of the eye.
Tonometry
Measurement of the intraocular pressure, key in glaucoma.
Fundus exam
To see the retina and the optic nerve.
Corneal topography
Depending on the case. It is what defines candidacy for LASIK.
Visual field and OCT
Depending on the case, especially in glaucoma and retina.
A private ophthalmology consultation in Medellín costs between 60 and 120 dollars, depending on the specialist and the tests done at the same appointment.
What conditions an ophthalmologist treats
An ophthalmologist treats diseases of the eye and the visual system: nearsightedness, astigmatism, farsightedness, presbyopia, cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, strabismus and dry eye, among other eye conditions. Some are solved with glasses or drops, others with laser and others in the operating room, and each group has its own subspecialists.
