                     Ophthalmologist

Duties and Responsibilities:

Ophthalmologists are physicians who specialize in the treatment of eye disorders and diseases. They treat vision problems and write prescriptions for both pharmaceuticals and corrective eyeglass lenses. Most ophthalmologists are in private practice, however some are employed by hospitals or clinics, and other 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 three to five year program. After completing their residency program they must pass an examination to be certified.
                                      
Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I wouldn’t like to be an ophthalmologist because it looks like a very delicate and confusing job.
