Ophthalmologist 

Duties and responsibilities:  

Ophthalmologist are physicians who specialize in the treatment of eye disorders and eye diseases. They treat vision problems and write prescriptions for both pharmaceuticals and corrective eyeglass lenses. When necessary, they preform eye surgery. Most ophthalmologist are in private practice, however some are employed by hospitals or clinics, and others preform 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 enjoy being an ophthalmologist due to their encounters with different situations and the way to help the ones in need.
