Does anyone know of any practicing surgeons who have amblyopia or lazy eye? I am hoping to find out if and how it affects their work. I am strongly considering a surgical specialty so I am not sure if this is an impediment. I did patching and other therapy when I was young. Now it doesn't affect my daily life whatsoever. In fact, I didn't notice any problems with depth perception on my surgery rotations. Open and robotic surgery seemed fine to me. The only time I had some issues was in opthalmology. For some reason, using binoculars gives me some eye strain.
Really appreciate any input from someone!
