There is a Texas Optometrist who is a triple threat (F/E/S) in the V60 circle, Dr. Ray Sexton. Former Veteran World Champion in '99. I believe.

I know Ray. I was hoping that he might know someone else.

You have piqued my curiosity.

I spent many years designing equipment for Ophthalmic surgery and knew/know quite a few Ophthalmologists.

I am wondering what sort of question would require the combined knowledge of an Ophthalmologist and fencer.

Something like " Do you think I could achieve a good lasik flap using a saber?", or "is a self closing scleral tunnel incision possible with my foil?"

What?

Neurologist, also known as psychoneurosis or neurotic disorder, is a "catch all" term that refers to any mental imbalance that causes distress, but, unlike a psychosis or some personality disorders, does not prevent or affect rational thought. It is particularly associated with the field of psychoanalysis.

Tangential thinking is an abnormality of the stream of though examined by Psychiatrists in their patients.

My mom is a nurse, and her friends have always been people who worked at the hospital with her. So, I've spent my whole life around people in the medical profession.

I think it's great to see that there are optometrists and neurologists and such who fence.

There is a Veteran Epee fencer from New Jersey who is an opthalmologist. PM me if you want his name.

He was an enormous reassurance to me when I was facing cataract surgery.
