Apply! You can do it! Don’t ever give up on your dreams! I know a few MD’s that practice!

I know little about optometry, other than it has to do with our vision . If you need a steady hand ,it could be dangerous to the patient if you seizured

I'm glad things worked out with your boss. In my couple decades with epilepsy, I was honest up front in becoming part of a football team coaches group. Within 30 minutes of telling the head coach, I was contacted by the administration department of the County that sponsors the program as my not being qualified, when no such discussions were ever held with that department. I will never reveal my condition relative to a business relationship unless I am hired and accepted in that working environment, first. I know this sounds selfish, but epilepsy places others to be selfish towards us first.

I am an MD! Uncontrolled seizures through medical school & residency. I did not tell my future boss about my seizures until I was hired. There was no issue at that point. I did tell my schools upon admission & everyone was gracious & supportive. Don’t ever let seizures stop you from achieving your goals. You can do it!!
