They treat vision problems and write prescriptions for both pharmaceuticals and corrective eyeglass 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 ophthalmologists. After completing medical school and internship, an ophthalmologist must then complete a tree to five year residency approved ophthalmology program. After completing their residency program they must pass an examination to be certified.

I wouldn’t like to be an ophthalmologist because it is not something I am interested in.
