His reasons for choosing to specialize in ophthalmology were two-fold. The first was an appreciation for the importance of vision. This valuable sense allows us to perceive and interpret the world around us, providing crucial information about our surroundings, making it integral to most of our daily activities and connecting to the world around us. Secondly, as a medical student, he was always interested in the medical specialties that required a physician to manage the medical as well as surgical treatments of a given disease, with ophthalmology being one of those areas.

Additionally, establishing a rapport over time fosters trust and open communication, enabling him to adapt his approach to individual patients.
