Which type of doctor makes more money, on average, per year?

For opthamologists, the earnings vary with experience, skill, and location. In 2006 the median salary for ophthalmologists was $199,423.
Anesthesiologists are near the top of the pay scale among all physicians. In May 2004 the median annual income for anesthesiologists who had been in practice for more than one year was $321,686.
I would bet on the anesthesiologist. It's going to be TOUGH work, but, in the end, very rewarding financially. Hope this helped!

It truly depends on how hard you want to work ... sort of like a lot of other careers. If an ophthalmologist only does office exams and prescribes glasses, contacts and medical interventions he won't make as much as an ophthalmologist who does lots of eye surgeries.
The same goes for anesthesiologists. I've known 'gas passers' that work almost exclusively with a couple ENT doctors and maybe an oral surgeon. So except for his or her call work their income isn't as high as an anesthesiologist who works with trauma surgeons and general surgeons.
