If you were to explain a typical day, how many hours go towards routine eye exams, etc. What other cases do you get? Do you feel most patients choose to visit opthalomologists when the issue is something besides getting your yearly eye exam?

I see non-routine people every day. Infections, corneal abrasions, corneal ulcers, uveitis (rarelY), and post-surgical follow ups.

But, > 90% of your day is going to be routine exams.
