r/Ophthalmology is a subreddit with 23k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and solution requests, and the community frequently discusses cataract, ophthalmology, cataract surgery, residency, and ophthalmic assistant, 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).
