10. Ophthalmology
Average residential salary: $56,000
Another medical field for medical practitioners and first tongue-breaking term for common folk on this list of 13 highest paid medical residency programs in US; ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the eyes. Ophthalmologists certainly have a keen eye for money, as well as for other people’s eyes, since they tend to earn more than most of their colleagues in their initial years as doctors.
