Hey guys, this may be a unique question, but apparently I have a non-degenerative form of night blindness that makes it take longer for me to transition from dark to light and vice versa. Would this preclude me from becoming an ophthalmologist? The reason I ask is because if for instance I'm using a bright light for an extended period of time and have to go into regular lighting it difficult to see with high acuity.

Thanks.
