Now, That’s Why I Became an Ophthalmologist!

Video description: We asked eight AAO 2017 attendees to share a moment when they thought to themselves, “Now, that’s why I became an ophthalmologist.” Here’s what they said.

I would love to go into Ophthalmology !

[@hibaboudinarr]

I'll back when I become an Ophtalmologist ❤

[@otiebrown9999]

A great professional.
I had an Optometrist help me go from 20/50, to objective naked eye 20/20, in one year.
He had me make my own refractive measurements myself, to be truly objective, in this science.

Great

[@Rhinoiron]

[@MEDP0327]

[@Rhinoiron]

EUNICE PADOC Good luck! I’m a premed student right now. It’ll be 11 more years for me.

[@johannsebastianbach9003]

Damn, Im here studying in becoming a radiologist and i still have 7 years to go

[@Pathologymadesimple]

Just today surgical spirit spilled in my left eye and I had a very horrible pain😭

[@ramanantheidoctor2817]

Hope u r fine doc

[@YRO.]

I'd love to be an ophthalmologist, but I'll go for optometry cuz it skips so many years of extra education.

Why might someone see a red line down the middle of a crescent moon? My retinal nerves are normal but slightly larger than the norm.

[@andrewthiyam8602]

Hello doctor, I have a Qs for you,
Are Nepafenac drops (NSAID) helpful in treating a corneal abrasion??
I had a corneal abrasion and have been using Nepafenac drops for about 2 months now.

[@AksheyeNayak]

Andrew Thiyam never use nsaid in cases of abrasions over cornea. Stop asap and consult ur ophthalmologist right away. U may need antibiotics , lubrication .

[@andrewthiyam8602]

Hello Akshay, I already used it for about a month after the abrasion. Can you please tell me how bad my cornea will now be?

[@AksheyeNayak]

Andrew Thiyam i cant say but nsaids delay healing. So better to stop asap. Actually by now u would have had some symptoms, if no symptoms like blurry vision, pain or redness.. then either u never had an abrasion or u hv been lucky enough to escape. Show ur doctor

[@andrewthiyam8602]

Yes I have stopped. Are you an opthalmologist or an optometrist?
I''m not going back to the same doctor again.
Actually, I'm facing some side effects now.
I need to tell you exactly what happened.
Please whatsapp me, it's important.. [phone]

[@AksheyeNayak]

Andrew Thiyam i m an ophthalmologist but i would suggest u show some other doctor in person and not consult via phone. Take care

[@justtoolit6051]

Do you guys not have any DO Ophthalmologists ?

[@kyesg1217]

Ophtha or nothing 💕👁

[@EllOhhVeeE33]

Nice

[@aidenw207]

Why do you guys never include D.O ophthalmologists?
