"My days are spent explaining the unexplained, clearing up the confused, informing the misinformed, listening to systemic medical stories and correlating them to various eye disorders, encouraging the discouraged, advancing nutrition as a means to prevent general disorders and eye disorders, adjusting unrealistic expectations and evaluating options and decisions which impact life and sight. SOMETIMES I EVEN PRACTICE OPHTHALMOLOGY!!! It is fun and usually I even get paid to do it."
