Hello everyone,
My wife was accepted into a College of Optometry. However, her heart is always with Ophthalmology. There are several reasons why she has chosen to apply to Optometry school instead, and one of the main reasons is because we have two children, one 5 the other 11 years old. We are just afraid that going to medical school, she will spend too much time away from the kids. I understand that it takes 4 years to attain her Optometrist degree. In regard to Ophthalmologist degree, doesn't it take much more years to get that degree?
For those who have experience with medical school life, especially those majored in Ophthalmology, please share with me your school curriculum, and also your internship and residency.
Thank you very much.
