Ophthalmology Optometry
Pursuing a Career in Ophthalmology
The field of optometry is expanding rapidly, with new advancements being made every day. As a result, an increasing number of roles are emerging in specialised fields of optometry - such as ophthalmology and laser eye surgery - prompting passionate medical professionals to pursue placement within these roles. But what does working in the optical field entail, and what are some of the specific steps required in pursuing a profession in optometry and ophthalmology?
Becoming an ophthalmologist - similar to becoming any other doctor - requires years of college and medical school, followed by a residency placement. And, like most health professions, ophthalmology education, certification and practice are regulated according to country specifications. Ophthalmology also includes sub-specialties, which deal with various eye diseases - and anyone pursuing a career in laser eye surgery should choose their specialization before - or during the process of - obtaining certification.
In the UK, there are three colleges that grant postgraduate degrees in ophthalmology: the Royal College of Edinburgh grants MRCSEd, the Royal College of Glasgow grants FRCS, and the Royal College of Ophthalmologists grants MRCOphth and FRCOphth (postgraduate exams).
Once certification is gained for laser or LASIK eye surgery, a residency - where the candidate completes a supervised practice under a qualified, experienced practitioner - can be secured. During their residency, the candidate is given a number of regular assessments and examinations - upon the completion of which, he or she will be eligible to register with the appropriate examining body for ophthalmologists in the UK, such as the General Medical Council (GMC).
To become a practicing ophthalmologist in the UK, candidates will also be required to hold the ‘Fellow of The Royal College of Surgeons’ (FRCS) qualification. And finally, ophthalmologists are also required to take part in ongoing education courses to stay current on the latest developments and standards of care within the field.
If you’re considering joining the field of ophthalmology, there are many resources available to point you in the right direction and to help you gain the required certifications. You can start with a simple search online, visit a local career center, or enquire directly at a postgraduate institution that offers ophthalmology.
The field currently has much to offer, and is expected to expand significantly over the coming years - which means there’s never been a better time to pursue a career in laser and LASIK eye surgery.

Optometry first then ophthalmology?
I'm a first yr in college. I'm wondering if it is a good idea to go through the process of becoming an optometrist first then decide whether or not I should aiming in becoming a ophthalmologist? or is it a bad idea?
And are there any advises you could give me of studying in optometry?
That would add years on to your schooling. Optometrists have to get a bachelor's degree and then go on to optometry school just like an ophthamologist has to get a bachelor's degree and then go on to medical school. It would be like wasting four years and optometry school is not cheap. You could definitely get a bachelor's degree, apply to both programs and see which one you get into and make your decision at that point.
