Title: What are the advantages and disadvantages of being an Ophthalmologist? Post by: Lela2587 on Apr 20, 2013 I'm a Sophomore in High School and I've recently given a lot of thought of what I want to do. I've been considering becoming an Ophthalmologist but I'm not sure if it would be right for me. Could someone tell me what the advantages and disadvantages of it are?
