26^th Global Ophthalmologists Annual Meeting

Ophthalmic Pathology

Ophthalmic pathology involves the study and diagnosis of diseases affecting the eyes and surrounding tissues through microscopic examination and molecular techniques. It encompasses a wide range of conditions, from benign tumors and inflammatory disorders to malignant cancers and degenerative diseases. Pathologists analyze tissue samples obtained via biopsies or surgical procedures to identify cellular abnormalities, assess disease severity, and guide treatment decisions. Advanced technologies such as immunohistochemistry and genetic testing aid in accurate disease classification and prognostication. Ophthalmic pathology plays a crucial role in understanding disease mechanisms, advancing research, and improving outcomes through precise diagnostic insights and tailored therapeutic approaches in eye healthcare.
