Hello everyone,
I wanted to reach out to this group on SDN as you are all trained Ophthalmologists. I hope to apply to Ophthalmology come this time next year. I have the stats, I have the research, I want to make absolutely sure I have the eyes.
I had Strabismus as a child with a corrective surgery. I had a eye exam done recently with stereopsis of 80 sec of arc. I have worked under microscopes for hours at a time on multiple occasions without noticing any favoring of one eye over the other or headaches thereafter.
I am at the spot now in med school where I could change my chosen career field if it is the best thing to do. I would love your input. I have also considered anesthesia... Any and all advice that you could give me is welcome.
Is my stereo vision good enough to be an Ophthalmologist?
***Please PM me if you wish. Thanks.***
