Presenting Ophthalmology Girl (courtesy of @lexreneemd!) @lexreneemd is a badass Ophthalmology resident. Ophtho is one of the most mysterious of fields to me, and they have some of the coolest toys (such as Ophtho girl’s sidekick, the portable Slit Lamp, cannulas, and phacoemulsifier!) I’ll let her describe what makes her field so special:
“Vision is a privilege and vastly changes quality of life when diminished. I’ve heard multiple times from patients say they would rather give an arm or a leg but don’t want their vision to go away. You may not need your eyes to live, but your life is not the same without them. It’s a small organ but there are so many layers and nuance (there are 9 subspecialties). [Ophtho] has [its] own language and imaging modalities, so we have a unique ownership of the patient.”
Thanks so much for your support, @lexreneemd!
