I have wanted to be a surgeon for a long time however, during my first semester of collage I lost most of my sight. My doctor discovered that there wasn’t much wrong with my right eye and that it may just be having a sympathetic reaction to the degeneration of the left eye. The sight in my right eye is slowly coming back and I hope to eventually have the full right eye back. I still have basic depth perception because my left eye has enough light and motion sensitivity to tell where things are. Is it possible to be a surgeon with basically only one fully-functioning eye? I have heard that a lot of surgeons use technology similar to microscopes to perform delicate surgery, I can use a microscope.

Also I have two withdrawals during my first semester because I had just lost my sight and needed some time to adjust, will that look really bad on my transcript?


I would appreciate any advice you can give me. Thank you.
