This is probably the last time anyone will explain this to you.
To become an opthalmologist, you HAVE to train as a doctor. In order to do this, you are required to go to medical school and obtain a medical degree.
Then, you are REQUIRED to work as a junior doctor in various specialities for two years. These are called Foundation Years (FY1 and FY2). You have to do this before you can apply for speciality training, such as opthalmology.
So once you have completed medical school, done your FY1 and your FY2, you can apply for opthalmology speciality training.
This is the only way to become an opthalmologist. There are no other routes.

He's inferring that your continued inability to grasp the concept that Ophthalmologists are doctors, with medical degrees from medical schools, and that there is literally no other way to become one other than training as a doctor and then specialising, is because you are being intentionally awkward for your own entertainment.
I don't know, that may be the case, but either way there is no reason for this thread to continue because you have had a very comprehensive set of answers and there is nothing really left to add.

Like i said before, i've been getting different answers from different people, for example one guy told me that i can become specialized in ophthalmology once i have got my optometry BSc , that's why i'm confused

You will not be an ophthalmologist unless you go to medical school. Ophthalmologists deal with ocular manifestations of systemic disease as well as pure eye disease. The point of them is that they have that global knowledge.

If you want to stick to an eye theme but not study medicine first you could look at optometry? Perhaps this was what you meant originally as you were unaware that opthalmology is a medical speciality?
