If you decide to go to med school to do Ophthy, you'll be at a considerable advantage. You can get started right off the bat doing research on the side, stopping by the eye clinic in your spare time, meeting the chair - all that good stuff while the rest of your classmates are still unsure how to even spell Ophthalmology. If you can put out a few eye papers & get first authorship in one or two, you're 10 steps ahead of all the other Ophthy candidates (I wish I had done this). And really - unless you have an awful tremor you can become a surgeon. If it turns out you find intraocular surgery unnerving, there's neuro, peds, plastics & path. But hey, I'm a believer - just matched to Ophthy and I'm happy as a clam. Now if I could just figure out how to master counter-strike with whats left of 4th year without getting carpal tunnel...
