Writing tips
- State license body + Prometric status first; ophthalmology-adjacent roles in the Gulf are strictly license-gated.
- Separate hospital ophthalmology experience from retail optical — they're different hiring tracks.
- Quantify exam volume and referral accuracy; detection stories (retinopathy, glaucoma) show clinical depth.
- Device fluency (OCT, topography, visual fields) is a differentiator — list machines by name.
