>That said, is anyone hiring an ophthalmologist with CS and Math degrees?

I mean there's a bunch of AI stuff/hype now, you could probably find something if you want to leverage your MD? I imagine you'd have a lot of insight into what would actually work well in practice and improve outcomes.

I just skimmed your comment history, so you already know about AI diagnostics e.g. https://health.google/caregivers/arda/

And worldcoin probably needs an opthamologist who can help ensure the retina id scans are stable... there are also a lot of retina scan companies anyway for digital identification that probably need an opthamologist. It may be as simple as keeping a set of scans over time so you reauthenticate in person and get your token updated like when you get a passport renewed for example. But maybe there's other stuff like preventing adversarial attacks.

Or maybe robotic surgery? Or maybe start your own? You might be able to patent something even.

This being HN, the world is your oyster and all.
