The correct spelling of this word is "opthalmologist" (with the 'l' before 'm').  See http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ophthamologist vs http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ophthalmologist for example, or http://www.google.com/search?q=ophthamologist (note the "Showing results for" bit due to Google correcting the misspelling).

Note that "opthamologist" as in comment 0 (without 'h' after 'p') is also an incorrect spelling....
