My choice came down to mechanical engineering or ophthalmology because both of which I have been accustomed to as a kid. I have grown up with a father whom one would call mechanically-inclined and almost as a second nature, I am quite mechanically-inclined myself and enjoy math and building things. On the other hand, ophthalmology happened by more of chance than by anything else. I was born a month prematurely

(Berdahl, John) In certain situations, too much aqueous is produced by the ciliary body inside the eye; and in other situations the
