Ophthalmologist

Ophthalmologist are physicians who specialize in the treatment of eye disorders or 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 private, 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 an approved ophthalmology program. After completing their residency program they must pass an examination to be certified.

I would not  like to be an Ophthalmologist because I would not like to  take five years of medical school.
