Hi All,
I am an incoming first year med student with a strong interest in pursuing ophthalmology. I have a family history of glaucoma with a parent who has it. I recently have been diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma. I'm in my early twenties, and I will be doing a visual field test to determine if there's any vision loss. If I have well managed glaucoma and no vision loss, and assuming I am competitive enough, can I still become an ophthalmologist?
Thanks in Advance!
