Do Opthos use a lot of neuroscience/neuroanatomy ? Or is this pretty much relegated to the subspecialty of neuro-optho?

Now if you're thinking about research, retina research and neuroscience research have a lot in common.
The beauty of the field is that you can get problems and workups similar to neurology/IM, with microsurgical correction of these problems similar to ENT/neurosurg. With great outcomes and a great lifestyle to boot.
That, at least, is how I see it.
EXCEPT unlike IM we get to say "you should follow up with your PCP about that" and unlike neurosurgery when we operate people almost never die from it.
It's the best field in medicine, unless you can actually make yourself like dermatology.
