Ophthalmologists
Duties and
Responsibilities:
Ophthalmologists are physicians who
specialize in the treatment of eye disorders and maladies. They treat vision
problems and write prescriptions for both pharmaceuticals and corrective
eyeglass lenses. Sometimes they must perform eye surgery. Many practice
privately, but some can be employed by hospitals or clinics, and others do
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.
I am
interested in becoming an ophthalmologist because they make really good money
and I really find the eye to be an interesting part of the body.
