Ophthalmologist
Duties and Responsibilities: Treat illnesses, diseases and conditions that affect the eye. While ophthalmologists can be thought of generically as 'eye doctors' and perform some of the same duties as optometrists, they differ in that ophthalmologists perform eye surgery and treat eye diseases. Ophthalmologists also examine eyes and prescribe contact lenses and glasses.
Salary: $197,700
Education: Completion of medical school plus 3-8 years of internship and residency; state licensure also required
Demands and Needs: Strong medical knowledge, strong physics and math skills, administrative and management skills
I would actually love to do this career pathway. I would like to enjoy it because I get to learn a lot of someone's eye. I get to learn how it works and functions on different people. I will be able to see how they do the surgical procedure of the eyes. This would be something that I would be interested in and will give a lot of thought too.
