eye surgeon
Operates on eyes
An eye surgeon is a physician who performs surgical procedures on the eye and surrounding structures.
The term usually refers to an ophthalmologist—a medical doctor specializing in eye care—rather than an optometrist, who typically doesn't perform surgery.
The eye surgeon removed her cataracts last month.
