what type of major is studying into eyes and the outcome is for me to be an eye doctor?

Ophthalmology and optometry are studies of the eyes, and depending on which major you choose, you could become an ophthalmologist or an optometrist.

Optometrists hold doctorate degrees (similar to M.D.s) and provide more than glasses.  They diagnose, treat, and manage diseases of the eye as well as improve patients' vision through glasses and contact lenses.

A good economics class can be very useful for you in the future.  I wouldn't skip it.  But a major?  It depends on where your interests lie. Do you have to pick a major right now? Maybe just select something general for now until you find something that really turns you on for a major.

Your best bet is to check with an opthalmologist.  He or she's the one with the letters "M.D." behind his/her name.  Niether an optician or optometrist is an M.D. and niether is fully qualified to answer your question.\n\nFor a great many people, laser surgery provides near-miraculous results.  There are some horror stories, told by people who don't know what they're talking about.  Don't listen to 'em.  Laser surgery corrects quite nicely when it's appropriate, and ONLY that M.D. opthalmologist is qualified to tell you whether it's right for you.\n\nAs for eyeglasses vs contacts - ideally, you try 'em both and decide for yourself, 'cause each person's needs are unique to that person.  What works for me may well not work for you.  \n\nGo see the Opthalmologist.  I'm sure you'll find the results much more satisfactory.

it depends on what your major is...but i would go with social science, it's broad and sounds interesting.

Ok...I am a pre-med student wiht a major in Biology and a minor in Chemistry.  Pre-med means that you will be taking the required courses for getting accepted into a medical school. It is very difficult and stressful. I wish you the best! oh and you can major in anything you want as long as you take the pre-med courses on the side you'll do good. Also it looks good when you have volunteered or are actively involved in organizations or clubs. Apply to a college who has a good reputation for preparing students for Med School. Good Luck!!!

You might major in communications, English, drama or journalism, although people who wirte sitcoms had all sorts of college majors. Consider choosing a field which genuinely interest you.

This is completely personal opinion, but many would argue that opthalmology would be a lead candidate. Not too many emergencies. Good hours and good comp.

yes go to an optometrist

If anatomy and/or physiology is an available major, take that. Otherwise go with a biology major, and maybe minor in business.

A major in biology-zoology if the have it, specializing in Ichthyology.  A minor in physics and/or engineering- For core requirements  would be biology, zoology, biochem 1, and calculus to get you into the major study listed above.

There are 17 schools and colleges of optometry in the U.S.  These are 4-year programs for doctor of optometry (O.D.) degrees.  If you're interested in becoming an M.D., you'll have to do 4 years of medical school, then a residency in ophthalmology.  If you think it's something you're interested in, talk to your local eye doctor to see if you could chat and/or shadow him/her for a day.

Try Nova Southeastern University.  They have A LOT of online programs, and my optician earned his degree there (though I don't know if he earned it online or not).

Well, assuming you want to do surgery, you're going to have to go to medical school. Med school is really competitive and your best chance of getting in is with a very comprehensive education of all things medical. Pre-med might not always be the best choice because it sometimes lacks coursework in the fundamentals of molecular and cellular biology. Lots of students I know going to medical school are majoring in microbiology (the study of cells), bioscience, biochemistry (incredibly tough but proves that you're ready for the rigors of medical school), chemistry and surprisingly enough, bioengineering. \n\nI would avoid any health, diet, or majors that don't focus on the basic levels of cellular and human biology. Getting a 4.0 in major consisting of nutrition doesn't look very good. You need to have a really good background in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and microbiology to be a good canadiate for a medical program but as long as your taking challenging classes that focus on some aspect of the human body, you have a very good chance of getting into medical school.\n\nI'd look into what aspect of biology you enjoy the most and major in that. From there, with good grades and good recommendations, you should be a shoe-in for medical school

Ophthalmology would require completion of a baccalaureate degree, medical school, and internship and residency programs. Count on roughly 8 years, barring any future subspecialty training.

i touched on this in your other question, but lemme reiterate.\n\nYou can major in ANYTHING if you want to study medicine. But you MUST take the prerequisite coursework. I listed that already in the last question, see that for details.\n\nWhat do YOU want from a college? That's the real question. Your performance in a university is strongly dependent on the kind of environment you seek. Do you want intense focus? Do you want something laid back? Do you like large cities? Smaller towns? Do you want to do research with a Nobel Laureate? Do you want something private? Religious? Factor all of these things together and you will match yourself to a good university. Reputation means squat if you're miserable for 4 years.

I have a Bachelor of Science in zoology and work as a wildlife biologist.  At my school the Biology major and the Zoology major only differed by a few classes.  Biology is a more general major and job prospects may be better.  It really depends on what you are most interested in...both majors will allow you to specialized once you get into upper division classes..you get to pick which ones you want to take so can concentrate on what you are most interested in.  I specialize in ornithology (study of birds) and have had no problems getting jobs.  I currently work for a non-profit and we do a lot of studying of local endangered birds.  If you are interested in birds it is a good option as birds are found all over the world and you can study them ANYWHERE! Good Luck.
