My name is Dr. Zac Keenum. I am an ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery fellow at UTSW, in Dallas, TX. USA.
My channel focuses on the transition from student- meaning undergrad and medical student- to becoming a doctor. More specifically I focus heavily on ophthalmology, ophthalmology residency, and ophthalmology fellowships.
I try to show you the pit falls and pearls I’ve learned along the way on my journey to becoming a doctor and ophthalmologist so you can take the same journey armed with as much information as possible.
I try to show you what it’s like to be a physician and ophthalmology resident and plastics fellow with day in the life and vlog style videos but also teach you some things about medicine and ophthalmology and plastic surgery along the way.
Even if you’re not interested in medicine, you might find entertainment in watching me struggle through it :)
I give you a real behind the scenes look into the life of a surgeon!
I hope you join me on the ride!

Most FUN Medical Specialty? Ophthalmology
Ok if u didn't have a victrous detachment then there wouldn't be any floater or blood in your victreous gel .only from the detachment u started to see this happening
What about a strabismus specialist salary?
You actually mentioned most of the stuff I love about ophthalmology, I think that this specialty feeds my perfectionism as I like to know all about something instead of just have knowledge about so many things together. I also draw and use my hands alot, so I need a speciality that makes me capable of “acquire a skill and master it” as you mentioned. Finally, the charity campaigns and doing free surgeries for those areas lacking medical care is really the corner stone of my ophthalmology dream, and whenever I feel tired and think that I’m an IMG so it actually makes it even harder to be an ophthalmologist, I remember that this specialty will help me provid proper healthcare to those outreached, poor places.
As an ophthalmologist tech, I loved this video, thank you!!!
For a new patient how long is the appointment
I am a complete lay person who is just interested in everything and I am so impressed by your honesty regading your profession Thank you so much
Dolores is so cute, love her positive outlook and clear explanations! Thanks for the video
Yes thank you she’s great!
This is an awesome video. How good were you with your hands prior to med school? I feel like my hands are okay, nothing special. Are there good ways to improve my dexterity now?
Hi I’m a medical student, my niece has micropthalmia and I just want to ask, if you put it in a child that’s only a year old, how often will you need to change it as she grows?
It’s tough to put an exact number but likely a few.
Hope I have good luck like em one day n able to see if I ever have money to get my eyes done
Thanks. Background Music is distracting. Great information
It would be great to see a video like this but for reflective or narrative styled Ophthalmology books. Like Oliver Sacks, just for the eyes!
You know to pronounce but you miss the craft sometimes🤣
why do you perform eye removal surgery?
I totally understand and agree with the fact that during gradual vision loss persons, including me didn't know how bad it really is after years. I had really a hard time in school and I don't have a good education even though I tried. I wonder how much it was affected by my eyesight
Do you have a video on eyelashes that grow inward? Mine are probably why I keep getting infection and stys
There's a wealth of information. Wow! Thank you.
When the time comes for the patient to receive their ocular prosthesis; what is the process? Is it as easy as introducing the prosthesis anterior to the stitched recti muscles? What would happen if the prosthesis were organic in nature? Would the recti muscles be stitched in their usual position within the organic prosthesis?
My prostate is very old i need a new one But can't afford
What do you mean by being AAO?
Do patients feel terrible pain after surgery? What painkillers are there after surgery? Is the nerve removed too? How many days does the inflammation last? When can a prosthesis be installed? Sincerely
I can't even get an appt until June 17th. 😭
I’ve been wearing a sclera shell for many years after disfigurement from surgery to reattach a retina. Do you have any advice for what to do when your eyelid shrinks in size from wearing a shell for so long?
Wonderful work, best luck ❤
he's stressed
What brand is it again?
Im 16 yrs old and im goung for an eye test in 2 days. Im soo nervous abt it but ill tell yall how it goes!
Awesome!!
Oh my god, mind blowing! How can a patient see normally with his eyes after this type of aggressive surgery???? Because I know that the eye is the most sensitive organ in the body after the brain, or am I wrong?
Can anyone suggest ophthalmology book for undergraduate level ..
My son is 30 and he got the chicken pox inoculation when he was little. Maybe it wasn't available in all areas in the 90's www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/varicella/public/index.html#:~:text=Chickenpox%20vaccine%20became%20available%20in,238%2C000%20hospitalizations%2C%20and%202%2C000%20deaths.
Could you describe, if you know, what are the possibilities for: 1. Working as an ophthalmology specialist from Europe (FEBO, PhD); 2. Opportunities for internships in areas such as f.e. retina or oculoplastics. I became interested in this topic after the last AAO in San Francisco. So much so that I will also be attending the AAO in Chicago this year 😅
I have a question, Dr. Eyeball, about blob and interblob cells. Since the blobs process color and color discrimination, I can tell a yellow banana from a red apple? Since some interblobs have a preference for movement in a certain direction, and since some have a preference for location, while other interblobs don’t, it would mean seeing someone jump up and down, or wave to a friend, or point to a dog across the street -all these movements are detected by different interblob cells in V1. Thank you

Hey , hope u are doing well. I am an IMG and really want to pursue ophthal . Can u please make a detailed video about what should an IMGs do to increase their chances of match in ophthalmology, like if u an recommend any courses, research work, training programs etc
Hello Dr. Keenum. Current third-year medical student getting ready to apply ophthalmology. I'm a dedicated follower of your insightful content and greatly admire your expertise in ophthalmology. If not too much trouble, and you’d be so kind, I would be deeply grateful for a chance to connect with you for mentorship and guidance in the field. Thank you for your consideration!
Wonderful video, thanks for this sharing ❤
Thanks for this wonderful video, some tips for IMG to match into Ophthalmology in US❤.
If the parasite causes scaring can it also be removed with Lazer light
Was the price in USD or CAD?

I heard it’s called deceitful eyes. Have you heard of this? It was talked about in “vaughts practical character reader”. And then from a scientific study where they read faces “Researchers have discovered for the first time, five tell-tale muscle groups that control facial expressions, activate differently when we are trying to deceive.” They studied this with Tracie Andrews a woman who had murdered her husband and was lying about it could be read through her facial expressions.
Man you look tired
eyeball, eyeball. eyeball part
…and you have beautiful eyes! A friend of mine was in a terrible car accident & broke her orbits very badly. Thank goodness for her surgeon… you can’t even tell & she only has the slightest scars. Today, air bags are not so powerful & engineered so as not to injure whilst protecting!
you're very handsome!
yeah i never would've guessed
