Dr. Maharaj joins the Four Eyes crew as a returning guest to discuss how optometrists have common personality traits that could either benefit our careers or become our downfalls. These traits also reveal an interesting perspective on why optometry is beginning to shapeshift towards specialization and tiering of medical optometry and refractive care.

In the second half of the conversation, Dr. Maharaj brings up the status of our mental health and the presence of mental exhaustion and burnout within our profession. The conversation leads into what strategies we’ve done or need to start doing in order to conquer those feelings together as a group.
