When my patients express their joy at the results we achieve, I remember what it means to be a doctor and why I chose this career. It is a difficult feeling to describe, something that does not fade with age or time, something that is vital to me as a surgeon. Becoming an ophthalmologist and eyelid surgeon is about acquiring this ability to help a sick person or someone who wants to improve their appearance in some way. It is one of the most valuable skills that can be acquired in life.
