You need to be an ophthalmologist, a medical doctor/surgeon that specializes in eye care. This requires 4 years of college followed by 4 years of medical school and finally a 5 year residence program. Most LASIK surgeons subspecialize in the cornea, the front portion of the eye.
First of all, could we clarify that the correct spelling here is oPHthalmologist. Note the placement of the first "h".
Ophthalmologists are medical doctors (ie they have successfully graduated from medical school) and have then completed a residency program which usually runs 3 years (it may be 4 years depending on the jurisdiction). Most ophthalmologists will then complete a further fellowship which may last a year or 2, during which time they will specialize in treating either the front of the eye (an anterior segment specialist), or the back of the eye (retinal specialist). A further area of specialization is in the treatment of glaucoma.
you have to go to medical school, complete 1 year internship then residency with a fellowship in ophthalmology. they are called ophthalmologist!!!
Finish medical school, take a surgical residency, and then a fellowship in plastic surgery.
(4 and 3 (up to 5) and 2 years respectivly)
not much at all
"To become a surgeon, any surgeon you will have to obtain a medical degree. After that you will have to complete a residency and can then begin to specialize."
You can become a surgeon if you have a STD.

So he can become a surgeon.
no
An eye surgeon can simply be referred to as an ophthalmologist. In fact, ophthalmologists typically specialize in both the medical and surgical aspects of ocular diseases.
There is no such thing as a surgeon major. You first become a doctor then you attend training at a hospital (not a college) to become a surgeon. I'm a doctor
this is a trick question anyone can become a surgeon if the study hard enough with certain subjects and they have become a doctor before they can become a surgeon.
Yes, one as nothing to do with the other. To become a neonatal surgeon, you first have to do your residency for 5 years as a General Surgeon. After the five years, it takes about 3 years to become a Pediatric Surgeon and then from there you can specialize as a neo-natal surgeon. Hope that this answers your questions:)
