Uma kuke kwadingeka ukuthi ufune udokotela wokunakekelwa kwamehlo, kungenzeka uyazi ukuthi kunezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zongoti bamehlo. Odokotela bamehlo, odokotela bamehlo, nodokotela bamehlo bonke abangochwepheshe abanakekela ukunakekelwa kwamehlo.

Udokotela wamehlo ungudokotela wamehlo okwazi ukuhlola, ukuxilonga nokwelapha amehlo akho. I-ophthalmologist ngudokotela wezokwelapha ongenza ukungenelela kwezokwelapha nokuhlinzwa kwezimo zamehlo. Udokotela wamehlo unguchwepheshe ongasiza ukulingana izibuko zamehlo, amalensi wokuxhumana, namanye amadivayisi okulungisa umbono.

Kule ndatshana, sizohlola izidingo zemfundo, iholo, ubukhulu bokusebenza, kanye nezinsizakalo ezinikezwa ngudokotela wamehlo, odokotela bamehlo, nodokotela wamehlo. Sizobuye sixoxe ngokuthi ungakhetha kanjani uchwepheshe onakekela iso kangcono kakhulu ngezidingo zakho.

Uyini udokotela wamehlo futhi benzani?

Udokotela wamehlo ungumhlinzeki wezempilo oyinhloko wokunakekelwa kwamehlo okujwayelekile.

Izinga lemfundo

Uhlelo lwe-optometry luhlelo lwe-postgraduate oluthatha cishe iminyaka eyi-4 ukuphothula, kuya ngesikole kanye nekharikhulamu. Uhlelo lwezifundo lubandakanya:

• izindlela eziyisisekelo nezithuthukile zokuhlolwa kwamehlo
• umlando wamacala amaklayenti nezifundo zamacala
• izifundo ezengeziwe zesayensi yemvelo (kufaka phakathi i-optics) kanye ne-pharmacology

Isifundo sohlelo lwe-Optometry sihlanganisa nokuqeqeshwa ngokugcwele emtholampilo njengomhlali phakathi neminyaka engu-1 kuya kwengu-2 yokugcina yalolu hlelo.

Ibanga leholo

Ku-2018, iholo eliphakathi labadokotela bamehlo lalingama- $ 111,790, ngokusho kwe-Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Izinsizakalo abazinikezayo nokuthi yini abangayelapha

Ungavakashela udokotela wamehlo ukuze uhlolwe iso lakho minyaka yonke, ukugcwalisa ingilazi yamehlo noma incwadi kadokotela, noma ukuthola imithi nokwelashwa ngezimo ezithile zamehlo. Ngokungafani nodokotela wamehlo, udokotela wamehlo akayena uchwepheshe wokuhlinzwa futhi akakwazi ukwelapha izimo zamehlo ezibucayi.

Odokotela bamehlo banikela ngezinsizakalo ezilandelayo ::

• ukuhlolwa kwamehlo minyaka yonke noma okujwayelekile, kufaka phakathi nemfundo yezempilo yamehlo
• ukuxilongwa kwezimo zamehlo
• imiyalo yezingilazi zamehlo, amalensi okuxhumana, nezinye izinsiza-kufundisa
• izindlela zokwelashwa noma izinqubo ezincane zokuhlinza zezimo zamehlo
• ukunakekelwa kweso kwangemva kokuhlinzwa

Odokotela bamehlo bangahlinzeka ngemithi elawulwayo yezimo zamehlo. Ngokuya ngomthetho wombuso, abanye odokotela bamehlo bangenza nokuhlinzwa okuncane. Lezi zinqubo zokuhlinza zingafaka ukususwa komzimba wangaphandle, ukuhlinzwa kwamehlo laser, kanye nokungenelela okuthile okwengeziwe kokuhlinzwa.

Yini i-ophthalmologist futhi benzani?

I-ophthalmologist ngudokotela wezokwelapha ogxile ezinqubweni zamehlo zokuhlinza.

Izinga lemfundo

Zonke izazi zamehlo kufanele ziqedele uhlelo olugcwele lwezokwelapha ngaphambi kokuthi ziqale uhlelo lokuhlala ku-ophthalmology. Uhlelo lokuhlala ophthalmology luthatha iminyaka eyengeziwe emi-4 kuya kwengu-7 ukuphothula, kuya ngesikole kanye nekharikhulamu. Uhlelo lokuhlala luyanda ku:

• ukuxilongwa nokuphathwa kwezifo zamehlo zangaphakathi nangaphandle
• ukuqeqeshwa kwezinsizakalo zezifo zamehlo
• ukuqeqeshwa kwe-ophthalmic kuzo zonke izinhlobo zezimo zamehlo

Ukuqeqeshwa kokuhlala kwe-Ophthalmology kufaka phakathi nokunakekelwa kweziguli, okubandakanya ukwenza izinqubo zokuhlinza ngaphansi kweso. Uhlelo lokuhlala luhlala lulandela unyaka owodwa wokuqeqeshwa.

Ngo-2018, umholo ojwayelekile wezifo zamehlo wawungu- $ 290,777 ngokusho kweSalary.com.

Izinsizakalo abazinikezayo nokuthi yiziphi izimo abangazelapha

Ungavakashela udokotela wamehlo ngokunakekelwa okufanayo nodokotela wamehlo, njengokuhlolwa kwamehlo okuvamile noma ukugcwaliswa kabusha kadokotela. Kodwa-ke, udokotela wezifo zamehlo angenza nokuhlinzwa kwamehlo kwezifo nemibandela eyahlukahlukene, kufaka phakathi i-cataract, i-glaucoma, ne-strabismus, nokunye okuningi.

• izinsizakalo eziyisisekelo zamehlo
• ukwelashwa nokwelashwa kwezifo zamehlo
• izinsizakalo zokuvuselela ngemuva kokuhlinzwa kwamehlo

Ophthalmologists bathola ukuqeqeshwa iminyaka eyi-12 noma ngaphezulu ukuze bakwazi ukwenza izinqubo ezijulile zokuhlinzwa zezifo zamehlo. Njengoba kunikezwe ukuthi lokhu kuyikhethelo labo, cishe bonke odokotela bamehlo bazogxila kulokhu njengezinga labo lokuqala lokunakekelwa.

Ingabe bayahlinzwa?

Ngokuya ngobungako bokusebenza ngaphakathi kuhulumeni, bobabili odokotela bamehlo kanye nodokotela wamehlo bangenza ukuhlinzwa kwamehlo. Kodwa-ke, odokotela bamehlo bakhawulelwe ekuhlinzeni abangakwenza ngenkathi odokotela bamehlo bengenza noma yiziphi izinqubo zokuhlinza abaqeqeshelwe zona.

Uyini udokotela wamehlo futhi benzani?

Udokotela wamehlo ungummeleli wesevisi yamakhasimende osebenza esitolo sokunakekela umbono noma ehhovisi likadokotela wamehlo.

Izinga lemfundo

Ukuqeqeshelwa udokotela wamehlo akuhlelekile ukwedlula ukuqeqeshwa kwe-optometry noma i-ophthalmology. Udokotela wamehlo akudingeki ukuthi abambe iziqu ezisemthethweni. Udokotela wamehlo angaqinisekiswa ngokuqedela uhlelo lonyaka owodwa kuya kwengu-2, olufana nohlelo lomhlanganyeli ekwabiweni kwamehlo.

Udokotela wamehlo angaqinisekiswa futhi ngokufundela umsebenzi wasendlini ngaphansi kukadokotela wezifo zamehlo noma udokotela wamehlo.
