OPHTHALMOLOGISTS
Doctors specializing in surgical procedures involving the eyes are called ophthalmologists. As surgeons, ophthalmologists lay claim to the most frequently performed procedure in Australian surgery today: the removal of cataracts. Not a day goes by without the development of some new technical marvel that ophthalmologists can put to use in the service of humanity. Laser beams are used to spot weld bleeding retinal arteries and lasers now put small surgical scars on the cornea improving vision without the addition of spectacles or contact lenses. Sometimes, single ophthalmologists super specialize in areas involving high tech intervention such as the use of these surgical lasers. They spend their time conducting procedures that attract very high Medicare rebates. It is disheartening to see specialists who trained for many years at the public's expense pick the eyes out of health insurance rebates in this way. They are performing procedures that an unskilled person off the street could be trained to do in the short period of two or three months.
