As ophthalmologists, we are smart and hard working and that's how we earned one of the coveted spots to do this specialty (only 525 spots in the USA per year which is up from 460 in years prior).

Dr Milind Pande (or Mr Milind Pande as surgeons are properly addressed in England) is a world class ophthalmologist who I've looked up to for 20 years. I first presented a lecture at his Royal College of Ophthalmologists meeting in Hull, England in 2005 and I was there again about 10 years later and then finally once more just last month.
