I don't know what it takes to go from being an eye doctor to doing laser eye surgery, but it seems to me like there's a pretty clear skills development path there. I'd be interested to know if that's a feasible career move and, if so, how many have already made it.
- ern 16y agoWhen I had LASIK done 8 years ago, it was by an ophthalmologist, an MD specializing in the eye, not by the optometrist who prescribed glasses and contact lenses. Optometrists would probably have to go back to school, become MDs, specialize, and then go for additional training in laser eye surgery.
