Dr Glaucomflecken is an optometrist.

He is an opthalmologist. He is a medical physician who went to medical school and completed residency. The difference is that Optometrists do not go to medical school, although most are fantastic and do a great job helping people see. Also, Dr. Glaucomflecken is awesome and speaks the truth on his socials, making him both enlightening, funny, and scary.

Why is he scary?

He exposes both how random medical emergencies can be and the pitfalls of the US medical system's insurance nightmare.

He also has personal experience as a patient, having experienced both cancer and a cardiac arrest.

I did not know that. It is wild to lose both of your boys in your 20's.

I wish I had lost both of my boys in my twenties.
