Similarities between
ophthalmology and cartography
Dr. Tibolt said he sees similarities
between his ophthalmology and
cartography work.
"To make a map you have to be
able to do research. You have to be
able to visualize what you want. You
have to be able to intellectualize a
theme," Dr. Tibolt said. "And you
have to pay great attention to detail
because with the practice of oph-
thalmology and with making maps,
everything has to be perfect."
He added that both professions
require a lot of patience. For exam-
ple, phacoemulsification requires
being patient and not rushing. With
cartography as well, he needs to pay
particular attention when inking a
map because if he's not careful, one
mistake can wipe out hundreds
of hours of work and potentially
destroy the whole thing. "You have
to be interested in something that
demands manual dexterity and fine
motor skills," he said.
Dr. Tibolt emphasized the
satisfaction that comes with both
ophthalmology and cartography. In
his work as a surgeon, there is great
satisfaction in knowing that he's
helped a patient to see better, and
the same goes for seeing the com-
pleted product of a map that has
taken a lot of time and effort to
create.
For Dr. Tibolt, it is especially
nice that as he approaches retire-
ment, he is able to look forward to
something else that he is passionate
about.
