Ophthalmologist
Duties and Responsibilities:
Ophthalmologists are
physicians who specialize in the treatment of eye disorders and diseases. They
treat vision problems and write prescription for both pharmaceuticals and
corrective eyeglass lenses. When necessary, they perform eye surgery. Most
ophthalmologist are in the private practice, however some are employed by
hospitals or clinics, and others perform research.
Average Salary:
$90,000-$150,000
Educational Requirements:
Only physicians may
study to become ophthalmologist. After completing medical school and an
internship, an ophthalmologist must then complete a three to five year
residency in an approved ophthalmologist program. After completing their
residency program they must pass an examination to be certified.
Reflection:
I
would not like to be an ophthalmologist because I don’t like to learn the
anatomy of the eye and I hate the eye doctor. I find no point in becoming one
for I am nearly blind and I don’t really think this job will suit me because
studying to become this profession isn’t something I see myself doing for the
rest of my life.
