Taking my residency into account I have now been in the field of ophthalmology for 20 years. That is a good moment for some reflection. Have I chosen the right specialty? Have I seen some remarkable patients? Not a lot of medical students starting medical school desire to become an ophthalmologist. In fact amongst most medical students ophthalmology is not quite popular.
