Transcript I want to be the first person to use stem cells to help fix an eye.

Duties of an Ocular prosthetist using
stem cells.
• The duty of an ocular prosthetist that does not use
stem cells is to make artificial eyes that look like real
eyes but can not see.
• A stem cell ocular prosthetist would have the same
duty but the eyes would be made of stem cells and
could actually see things. The ocular prosthetist has to
measure the eye socket, match the eye color and
attach the artificial eye to the eye muscles so that
when the real eye moves so does the artificial eye.

Physics (Optics is a physics science)
Math (I will need to make
calculations)
Chemistry (To see what things are
made of)
Biology (I will need to know about
human life ie; cells)
Ceramic arts (To practice using my
hands)
In grade 12 I will take All my maths
(ie; functions, calculus and algerbra)
All my sciences (ie; physics, chemistry
and biology)

University
In my under graduate studies I will take:
Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Physiology,
Psychology, Anatomy courses,
Embryology and Genetics.
I will obtain my bachelors of science.
In graduate studies I will take…
Masters in Science (that includes
specialized courses in all science
areas.
PhD in Science (specific to physics and/or
molecular biology.

Salary
• An ocular prosthetist's salary per hour could be any where
between $32 and $50.
• Annually an ocular prosthetist may get a salary of $66,600 and
$104,540.
• The difference between the two salaries is experience public or
private system or how good you are.
• I want to be an ocular prosthetist that uses stem cells so I will
get approximately $250,000 more which would bring my salary
to a grand total of 354,540.

Biotechnology
How it is linked to my job.
Biotechnology is a field of
biology which involves the
use of living organisms and
technology. It is linked to
my future job in the sense
that an eye is part of a living
organism and using stem
cells to make an eye is
technology.
Previous slide.
The type and specifics of
biotechnology used for this career.
• The specifics of
biotechnology is stem cell
research. You are using
living cells to replace cells
that have died. Embryonic
stem cells clump together
and are the easiest type of
stem cell to use when
making an eye.
• My job is also linked to
Medical Biotechnology.
