Exploring the mysteries.
Opt School or a house?
Electricians make more cash.
Too late to drive truck?
As a mid-career optometrist still 20 years from any kind of retirement, I often wonder if I made the right decision. I’ve had to do some electrical work on my 1960 house (because that’s the kind of house an optometrist can afford) and really enjoyed it. Also I really like driving, so I probably should have been a trucking electrician or an electrical trucker.

I shine light in eyes,
as a watchman for disease.
Patient might punch me.
I get photophobic patients sometimes, so this haiku is for them. If you liked this one, read more Optoblog poetry.
Apparently there was a video contest, and Marc Schmitt at PUCO submitted a great entry. I recognized three professors in it: Dr. Hannu Laukkanen, Dr. Dennis Smith, and Dr. Lorne Yudcovitch.
H/T to Dr. Maino.
It appears that another optometrist with an actual art degree has been making comics for years and now has a book out. Review of Optometry even did a profile on Dr. Scott Lee, O.D.
I’ll bet he even draws them on paper instead of using a mouse in Paint.net.
Well, I see I shall have to get my game on to compete. But there is one thing Dr. Lee doesn’t have: seafoam green backgrounds. Yup, that was my idea.
I also now have Optoblog poetry, so I’m really diversifying my portfolio which will pay big dividends when I cash in on my book deal.
Be sure to stay tuned to my Optoblog comics. They’re just for optometrists. Patients won’t get them, but you will. Feel free to use them in your C.E. presentations. Send me a cell phone photo when you do!
Optoblog.com revolutionized optometric blogging when it added the cartoon comic feature. Well, I’ve done it again with a new feature: Poetry. This inaugural poetry post features a form of haiku called cirku.
