Most ophthalmologist are in a private practice, or clinics, and others perform research.

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.

      

 I would not like to be an ophthalmologist because I think it would take a long time to be one and because I want to be a soccer player. They make a lot of money but I think you should do what you want to do best not because of the money.
