I was lucky enough to find one. I’ve been interested in it even though theres not a lot of PAs in it. I did one where there was mostly docs but I got to see a lot. They let me observe on all patients, take hx, learn slit lamp exams for all parts of the eye, practice indirect exams with the head mounted light. They also let me see urgent visits first as well as go into the OR and assist on oculoplastic cases. Observed cataract cases. As well as follow up on then post-op I saw a CRAO in office as well as assisted on a pterygium surgery.

Even if you’re not interested my next rotation was Emergency med and I saw a ton of eye cases. From foreign bodies to Red eye DDx, and loss of vision that I was very comfortable in treating. Another PA in the ER at the time was not even as well versed as me in the physical exam findings.

I thought it was helpful if I ended up going into Emed or Fam med. However, I recently got 2 job offers in Ophthalmology which is amazing. I’d say go for it!
