Ophthalmologist 

Duties and Responsibilities: 

Ophthalmologist have some quite the same duties of an eye doctor. However, they can perform surgeries and treat eye diseases. They can also prescribe contact lenses and glasses to the patients that need it.   

Salary: 

The average salary of an ophthalmologist is $98.46 per hour. Though if you have experience of 1-5 years your annual salary ranges from $105,015 to $249,468.  

Education: 

To become an ophthalmologist you need a four year postgraduate training after obtaining a medical degree. You need a three year residency in ophthalmology with a one year internship. That is you need 4 years of college and 4 years of medical school.  

Demand of Profession: 

According to the BLS only a 14 percent increase of jobs will open for ophthalmologists on the next 10 years.  

     

Reflection: 

I think that besides a very long time of schooling to become an ophthalmologists it can be worth it if you want to be one for the eyes. But if I was to choose what I would want to do for the rest of my life I wouldn't like to be this. That is because being in an office is not for me and the surgeries aren't either.
