Does an otolaryngologist specialize in eye diseases?

Answer 1

Otolaryngology is a surgical sub speciality within medicine that deals with conditions of the ear, nose and throat and related structures of the head and neck.

ENT specialists are referred to as otolaryngologists.

Patients seek treatment from an otolaryngologist for diseases of the ear, nose, throat, base of the skull, and for the management of benign tumors and cancers of the head and neck. This specialty is often treated as a unit with surgery of the head and neck.

No, ophthalmologists usually treat eye diseases; otolaryngologists specialize in disorders of the ear, nose, and throat (ENT), not eye diseases themselves.
