Morphology
ophthalmologic = ophthalmology (transparent) = ophthalm + log + ic
Formed from the noun 'ophthalmology' with the adjectival suffix '-ic', so the meaning 'relating to ophthalmology/eye medicine' is directly derived.
Etymology
The word ophthalmologic comes from an old Greek word ophthalmos meaning 'eye' and the ending -logy meaning 'study', as in biology. So, ophthalmologic describes the study or care of the eyes.
