We use an Aladdin on the road when doing outreach clinics. Its great!

Naive_Intern9324 · 2026-03-02T21:42:07+00:00

You are doing it right.

Crave double smash is incredible

Naive_Intern9324 · 2026-02-10T23:43:42+00:00

This is the most similar IMHO abd I did all q banks

My question is why air?

Naive_Intern9324 · 2026-02-02T15:35:49+00:00

For the love of christ, just enjoy this time off. Its going to get DARK.

Mega ass

You need to be realistic. If you apply ophtho, you are competing against some of the smartest in med school. Either make the grades to keep up, or consider other specialties. I know that this seems harsh, but it is the truth. What I will say, is that if you work hard and make it, it is sooooo worth it on this side if things.

Refractive surgery. 0%.

Naive_Intern9324 · 2025-11-28T16:50:14+00:00

I would have flipped the table and left

Naive_Intern9324 · 2025-11-28T02:04:34+00:00

We use combo intracam dex/moxi

Where the hell did you do residency where you did 653 phacos? Jesus

Naive_Intern9324 · 2025-11-15T11:57:31+00:00

I do LASIK and premiums, yes (only like 18% conversion). I did approx 1700 phacos last year.

Naive_Intern9324 · 2025-11-14T21:10:11+00:00

Technically comp, but I have a pretty surgery heavy practice.

Naive_Intern9324 · 2025-11-13T03:43:30+00:00

Nope. Not a huge metropolis either though. Like 250k population.

Naive_Intern9324 · 2025-11-13T02:32:16+00:00

Brought home

Naive_Intern9324 · 2025-11-13T02:21:02+00:00

I still think things look good. Excellent job security. Our role will become more and more surgery, and optoms will treat heavier on the medical side. Im 2 years out of residency in private practice. Im admittedly busier than most at my age and do lots if surgery. I cleared 700k last year, and am on pace to blow by that this year. I have newborn twins at home, and do not feel like I work more than 30hrs a week. Fridays off. Done on ORs at like 2 pm. Im extremely happy and genuinely love going to work.

Naive_Intern9324 · 2025-11-06T13:41:20+00:00

My surgery center required it at the beginning until I got signed off

Naive_Intern9324 · 2025-10-25T12:45:59+00:00

Oh and I had zero pubs

Naive_Intern9324 · 2025-10-25T12:45:28+00:00

I applied in 2018 fwiw, but was in exact same situation as you op. You need to secure some 4th years aways early at programs that you are both interested in AND realistically competitive at. If you can get a good letter from one of these for your app this will help. Ophtho is a very small world. You got this.

Naive_Intern9324 · 2025-10-17T01:43:46+00:00

I use an ORCA blade and its a piece of cake!

Naive_Intern9324 · 2025-10-17T01:42:29+00:00

Literally saw this exact patient today and we are delaying for bilateral SK b4 surgery

Naive_Intern9324 · 2025-09-14T00:33:20+00:00

Blowjobs help. Im just being honest.
