Hi!

I am a last year medical student in a european country and have a great interest in ophthalmology. I have quite good chances to match as a resident in ophthalmology but I have a quite severe red green color blindness which makes me question if this is right for me and the how this can affect patient safety.

Are you color blind or know someone that is that practices as an ophthalmologist? I have seen obvious cases of retinal pathology in the clinic but I am afraid that there is risk of missing something that is less obvious. What do you think?
