Duties and responsibilities:
Ophthalmologists are physicians who specialize in the
treatment of eye disorders and disease. 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
Educational 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:
I would not like to be an ophthalmologist because I don’t
like this type of medical field.
