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. When necessary, they perform eye surgery. Most ophthalmologist
are in private practice, however some are employed by hospitals or clinics, and
others perform research.

Educational Requirements:
Only physicians may study to become ophthalmologist. After
completing medical school and an internship, an ophthalmologist must then
complete a three to five year residency in an approved ophthalmologist program.
After completing their residency program they must pass an examination to be
certified.
Reflection: I
wouldn’t like to be an ophthalmologist because I would rather study something
else that catches my interest. And being an ophthalmologist doesn’t seem like
something I would like to study.
