Make a bold prediction for the future of ophthalmology
Advancements in digital home-monitoring systems and wearable devices are poised to play a pivotal role in the field of ophthalmology, significantly enhancing diagnostic capabilities and personalized treatments. Gene therapy and cell therapy will be available for optic nerve regeneration.
If you weren’t an ophthalmologist, what would you be doing instead?
I would study Christian theology and become a bible scholar, dedicating my studies to understanding the Hebrew and Greek texts as well as exploring biblical archaeology.
What global trends in eye health should ophthalmologists be aware of?
The growing number of patients suffering from age-related eye diseases, coupled with a global shortage of ophthalmologists and unequal distribution of eye care services, is likely to exacerbate the state of eye health over the next 10–20 years.
