optometrist

                                                    Optometrist

 Duties and Responsibilities: 
      Optometrists treat vision problems.  They treat vision problems by diagnosing the problem and then prescribing corrective eyeglasses, contact lenses, or vision therapy. Some optometrists specialize in industrial vision safety, treatment of vision related learning disabilities, and enviornmental vision care.  Unlike ophthalmologists they are not physicians and may not write medical prescriptions, treat diseases, or perform surgery. Most optometrists are self-employed, however many work for hospitals, government agencies, optical manufacturers, or universities.

Salary:  $78,000

Education:   Students interested in becoming an optometrist should take the most challenging high school courses (AP or IB) available in math, science, and English.  Before entering an optometry school at least two years of college in a pre-professional program is required.  Optometry school is four years in length.  After being awarded the degree of Doctor of Optometry, optometrists must pass state exams before starting to practice.  

Reflection: I think that a optometrist has a important thing to do because they take care of you and many people like to come to these types of things.

CHOOSE THE Right!!!

Student Success Statement 

"Doing what is right, fair and

honorable is more important than

winning or losing."

CHick Moorman 

I think this means that when you choose the right is the best choosing thing you could do because when you choose the right you will feel good about yourself and i think that it doesn't matter if you win or lose because if you choose the right it will make you feel good. This is what I think this statement means.

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

Salary:  $90,000 - $150,000

Education:  

Only physicians may study to become ophthamologists.  After completing medical school and an internship, an ophthalmologist must then complete a three to five year residency in an approved ophthalmology program.  After completing their residency program they must pass an examination to be certified.

Reflection:  I think that a ophthalmologist is a important thing because of all the kind of things of they are doing .  They have a job that many people don;t have.
