r/Ophthalmology is a subreddit with 23k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and pain & anger, and the community frequently discusses residency, ophthalmic assistant, private equity, retina, and strabismus, and they frequently recommend/review ai scribe, anki deck, and lenses.
This is a forum for professional-level discussion between and amongst ophthalmologists and ophthalmology trainees. Optometrists, ophthalmic photographers, and other allied eyecare health professionals are welcome to join discussions as well.
This is NOT a forum for questions about your own eye condition, or that of your relatives or friends. For those, try r/eyetriage (but even then, please contact your own ophthalmologist or optometrist, as medical advice without an exam is unethical).
