Ophthalmologist Jobs in Westwood, NJ

Ophthalmologists are essential professionals in the medical field. They specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders and diseases. Their duties may include conducting eye examinations, diagnosing eye-related conditions like glaucoma and cataracts, prescribing corrective lenses, and performing eye surgeries. Not only do these professionals provide essential healthcare services, but they also conduct research and contribute to advancements in eye care technology and treatment methods. To fulfill these responsibilities effectively, they must possess excellent diagnostic and surgical skills, attention to detail, and strong interpersonal and communication skills.

Before becoming Ophthalmologists, individuals typically must complete a bachelor's degree, followed by a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) program. Afterward, they must complete a residency in ophthalmology. They also need to obtain licensure to practice medicine and may choose to become board certified in Ophthalmology. Board certification, though not required, demonstrates a high level of competence and can enhance job prospects. Once fully qualified, they may begin their careers as general ophthalmologists or may choose to specialize in areas such as Pediatric Ophthalmology, Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery, or Neuro-Ophthalmology. Prior job roles may include the positions of an intern or resident in a hospital, a medical doctor, or a General Practitioner.
