I chose my area of medicine because I wanted my work to enhance the quality of life of others. I fell in love with Ophthalmology when I saw the lives of cataract patients transformed by a routine fifteen minute procedure, however I chose to specialise in Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery because I could use my anatomical knowledge and surgical skills to cure skin cancer, restore tear drainage and correct eyelid malpositions, resulting in cosmetic distress, discomfort or vision loss.
