    Yes, it is possible to become an ophthalmologist after completing a BSc in Ophthalmic Technology, but it requires further education and training. 

    While a BSc in Ophthalmic Technology provides a strong foundation in eye care and experience in the field, transitioning to an ophthalmologist requires a significant commitment to further education and clinical training. 

    The BSc degree can be beneficial for gaining initial knowledge and experience, but the path to becoming an ophthalmologist primarily involves medical education and specialised residency training.
