Summary

As an aspiring ophthalmologist and junior doctor with a deep interest in ophthalmology, I'm currently navigating the early stages of my medical career with curiosity and dedication. My background in research and clinical exposure has sparked a lasting fascination with the complexities of vision and the impact eye health has on quality of life. While I'm still building my path, I remain open-minded, eager to learn, and grateful for every opportunity to grow-especially in areas related to eye care and innovation.
