It all began with a friendship. I just started at Georgia Eye Partners as a resident in the summer of 2019 when I first met Chawan. She was a bright-eyed passionate extern who always dressed to impress and had a contagious laugh you could hear down the hall. It was easy for those around her to smile and vibe off her energy. During our time together, I knew she would never get intimidated from me asking her challenging questions and likewise, that I’m an open book and will seek answers if I don’t know them. We share the mentality that we are life long learners who love optometry, enjoy teaching others, and nerding out over interesting clinical cases.

We especially had a good time in our specialty contact lenses service with our mentor, Michael Kosmos. We loved to stay after clinic to absorb as much as we could from his expertise. Chawan was inspired to pursue a cornea and contact lens residency! When our time together in clinic came to a close, we continued to keep in touch and share cases with each other.

As we both evolved as clinicians, we realized that it would be fun to share our stories, cases, and learn about the industry together. Welcome to our journey together!
