Word Origin & History
ophthalmologist
1834, from Gk. ophthalmos "eye," originally "the seeing" (related to ops "eye," see optic) + -logia "study." Second element in Gk. ophthalmos may be related to thalamos "chamber," giving the whole a sense of "eye and eye socket." Ophthalmia "inflammation of the eye, conjunctivitis"
is attested from late 14c.
