·         Performing eye exams

·         Assist with eye surgery

·         Explain treatment for the patients so that they can be aware of what to do and what not to do.

Average Salary: $14,000 - $25,000

Educational Requirements:

If you are interested in being a ophthalmic technician you will need a high school diploma or GED certificate as well as a two year college that begin ophthalmic training. It can take about two years to complete.

I wouldn’t like to choose this as a career only because I do not like to perform nor assist in surgery. I’ve said it before I feel as if I will pass out during the procedure.
