Ophthalmology is not an unpopular major, but there are still few schools offering this major at present. There is no problem in employment and employment after graduation, and the employment prospects are better. Optometry is different from optometry. You can be an ophthalmologist after graduation. Specializing in clinical medicine and optometry.
Ophthalmology (five-year program) can be a licensed physician and an ophthalmologist. This is also where it is different from optometry (four-year system). The four-year program is a science and engineering program, and you can only be an optometrist, even if you get a master's degree in ophthalmology. This is a place to pay attention to.
Employment direction of optometry major: After graduation, you can be employed in various general hospital outpatient clinics, specialist outpatient clinics, medical universities, service glasses companies, and service optical instruments research units, and you can serve as an orthopedic surgeon and a vision correction doctor to undertake optometry classroom teaching and scientific research.
/kloc-more than 0/00 optical companies are thirsty for talents and lack of professional talents. The continuous recruitment has basically achieved the level of "everyone must have it" as long as it is a store. In a word, the current employment mode of optometry students is better than that of clinical medicine, but few people want this major to be a hospital outpatient, which is very easy to be saturated.
