I have a chance to volunteer for an opthamalogist, but would it be better if I tried to volunteer for an optometrist instead since thats what I want to pursue?

But if you shadowed an ophthalmologist, you will be exposed to surgery all the time.
Opthalmologists typically have 1 surgery day per week and the rest of the 5 days they work in office setting where they see patients and perform exams just like optometrists.my impression is that this isn't necessarily true (though an OMD could chime in on this one).
lots of cataract surgeons are in the OR only one day a week. the remaining times, they're at their slit lamp doing medical examinations. i could be wrong on this, but i know this is the schedule of SOME Ophs.
