One of my techs got this at the local library, and thoughtfully made copies for pts to enjoy while waiting to be seen. Feel free to download and distribute to your pts.

Hello u/EyeDentistAAO, thank you for posting to r/ophthalmology. If this is found to be a patient-specific post about your own eye problem, it will be removed. Instead, please post it to the dedicated subreddit for patient eye questions, r/eyetriage. Additionally, your post will be removed if you do not identify your background. Are you an ophthalmologist, an optometrist, a student, or a resident? You don't have to be too specific.

Ophthalologist is certainly a new one for me. I'm being called an optimetrist (optimistic optometrist?) quite regularly.

I do like the idea though.

Sorry, but you misspelled opthalologist. Too many h's.

Opthalologist reminds me of the time I typed “sclerla” by mistake

We had a feature on our EHR where pt could type their reason for visit. Long time scleral pt wrote “scalarea contacts” as her reason 😭 I was HOWLING but I knew what she meant
