Ophthalmology combines surgical skills with medical skills. There are few medical conditions that are not related to or may manifest as eye signs. Numerous rheumatological, neurological, vascular, and cardiovascular conditions have ocular features, and these features may be the primary presentation of systemic disease.  Ophthalmologists deal with a healthy, elderly population. Patients walk in and out of a clinic under their own steam and are extremely grateful for anything you do for them. Often patients are followed up for an extremely long period of time, which allows for the building of a true rapport.

According to the web publication Envision Ophthalmology A Practical Guide to Ophthalmology as a Career Choice, by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, “Future demand for ophthalmology, as for the other specialties, will depend on the advances of medicine and how fast new procedures and techniques can be made available to meet the needs of the public. Ophthalmology has enjoyed more than its share of scientific and technological breakthroughs in medicine. As such, there are locations throughout the country with relative shortages and others with relative surpluses of comprehensive (general) ophthalmologists and ophthalmologic subspecialists. Overall, from a manpower perspective, ophthalmology continues to be an attractive field of medicine with great opportunities.” The annual salary for ophthalmologists ranges from $218,264 to $414,228.

Advantages of ophthalmology include:     
• Rewarding
• Grateful patients
• Mixes medicine with surgery
• Lucrative private practice
• Low on-call workload
• Delicate surgery

With the aging population and the higher and higher demands for ophthalmology services (particularly cataract services) there will always be job opportunities for ophthalmologists, and there are plans for future expansion of the numbers of consultants. 
 
The practice of ophthalmology can be one of the most satisfying medical professions. This is due in large part to the broad scope of ophthalmic practice, which includes medicine and surgery, treatment of pediatric and adult patients and provision of primary care as well as highly specialized treatment. Also, because of the nature and wide prevalence of eye problems, the patient’s relationship with an ophthalmologist continues over many years, often throughout the patient’s life. 

As a result of a number of scientific and technological advances, ophthalmology offers possibilities for diagnostic and therapeutic precision that are unavailable in many other medical and surgical specialties. These advances have resulted in the development of a number of subspecialties, and provide the ophthalmologist with a wide range of clinical and research opportunities. 

Positions in the specialty discipline of ophthalmology are readily available across the United States and around the world. The problem for most physicians is finding the time to explore the options available. Making cold calls to acquaintances or co-workers and sifting through the various ads in journals and on the internet can be very time-consuming. Alternatively, if you are relocating, you may not have any familiarity with hospitals and medical groups or community offerings in a new area. In this case, time and distance can be a problem if you’re using the conventional approaches to finding a job.
