Ophthalmologist



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.
