Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery. 

Recognized for his outstanding work in his field, Dr. Schulhof has presented at international ophthalmology meetings, as well as has published multiple articles in peer-reviewed journals on various topics in ophthalmology and glaucoma.
