Often the signs of a systemic problem appear first in the eyes.The general/family physicians in the medical team form an integral part of this total care that is required.The family physician's importance and role as a holistic care giver is re-emerging in an environment of super specialisation in medicine.Our family physicians also conduct home visits for giving care to those who cannot easily travel to the clinic.
