Personal Note from Lejdina: Upon entering ophthalmology, it was an eye opening experience due to the immense field involvement. I am amazed at the incredible level of detail within the eye and within the field of ophthalmology. A fun fact about me is that I am a car enthusiast and I like to help out in my family’s business like floristry and the automotive industry.
