Duties and Responsibilities:

Ophthalmologists are physicians who specialize the treatment of eye disorders and the diseases. They treat the vision problems and write prescriptions for pharmaceuticals and correct eyeglass lenses. They can also perform surgery towards the eye. Ophthalmologists have private practices, however they can also be employed by hospitals, clinics, and others can do research.

Salary: $90,000-$150,000

Education:

Only physicians can study to be an Ophthalmologist. Once you complete medical school and an internship, you must complete an Ophthalmologist approved program for three to five years. Once all of this is done you must pass an examination to become certified.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I would like to be an Ophthalmologist because they treat the vision problems and treat eye disorders/diseases.
