Ophthalmologist

Duties & Responsibilities:

An Ophthalmologist is responsible to 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. 

Salary: $90,000 - $150,000

Education:

Only physicians may study to become ophthalmologists.  After completing medical school, 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.

Refelction: 

I think I would consider becoming an Ophthalmologist because their duties seemd really interesting. I think working with the human eyes is really intense and it seems like a good career.
