Why is ophthalmology considered one of the most technology-driven specialties today?
Answer:-
Ophthalmology is a premier technology-driven specialty because it merges high-resolution imaging (like OCT) with AI-based diagnostics and precise, laser-assisted surgical tools. Unlike many other specialties that rely on invasive testing, ophthalmology leverages Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography and AI-enhanced retinal scans to uncover disease patterns with exceptional precision and minimal discomfort to the patient.

Today's Question:

From which language does the word ophthalmology come?
