Duties and Responsibilities:
Ophthalmologists are physicians who specialize in the treatment of eye disorders and diseases. They treat vision problems and write prescriptions for both pharmaceuticals and corrective eyeglass lenses. When necessary, they perform eye surgery. Most ophthalmologists are in private practice, however some are employed by hospitals or clinics, and others perform research.
Average Salary:
$90,000 - 150.000
Education Requirements:
Only physicians may study to become ophthalmologists. After completing medical school and an internship, an ophthalmologist must then complete a three to five year residency in an approved ophthalmology program. After completing their residency program they must pass an examination to be certified.
Reflection:
Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not? No, I would not want to be an ophthalmologist. I think this because an ophthalmologist is specialized with eyes, and I don’t think I would like treating diseases in the eyes. I am interested in different type of careers and this is not one that I would enjoy doing for the rest of my life although I would be helping many people throughout my career.
