Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.
Outside of work, Dr. Oboh-Weilke enjoys spending time with her husband and children. A resident of Charles County, she also enjoys ballroom dancing, participating in church activities, and traveling. She is fluent in English, French, German, and Yoruba.
