Explanation

Ophthalmia is the medical term for inflammation of the eyes, covering various inflammatory conditions. Cataract is a specific eye condition (clouding of the lens) but not the general term for inflammation. Otology relates to ears, odontology to teeth, and 'overiology' is not a real medical term. Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine dealing with eyes.
