Ophthalmologist

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 eye glass 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 ophthalmologist. After completing medical school and an internship, an ophthalmologist must then complete a three to five year residency in approved ophthalmologist program. After completing their residency program they must pass an

examination to be certified.

Reflection: I would not be one because I’m not that great at

biology and it seems very hard. This would not be a good job

for me. I don’t like dealing with the human eyes because it is so delectated.
