If you type eye specialist reports (or anything else) repeatedly, you might benefit from something like Keyboard Maestro or Text Expander, or its many competitors. If I had to type ‘cataract’ more than twice, I’d have a macro for it. For example, in Keyboard Maestro, you could define this as ‘c.’, or ‘cat.’, possibly even a ‘c’ in isolation.
Things I’ve defined:
-^ is ↑
-v is ↓
:a: is α (alpha)
:b: is β (beta), etc.
The cool thing about Keyboard Maestro, is I can use the same shortcuts in my LaTeX editor, and they expand to the LaTeX commands, rather than characters (as they do in other editors). For example,
-^ expands to \uparrow{}
-v is \downarrow{}
:a: expands to \textalpha{}
:b: expands to \textbeta{}
:amn: expands to \textalpha{}-motor neuron, etc.
There is less to remember since there are common shortcuts across editors. If I forget, the shortcuts are sitting in a palette at the side of the screen that expands when the mouse is over it.
.
For things I type often, I use a character I never type to signify that Keyboard Maestro should expand it. That character for me is Option+L
For example, f¬ expands to function, in¬ expands to integration.
And there are many, many more things KM can do.
For example, I defined ^⌥N to resize the current window to the lower-right third of the screen, ^⌥R to the upper-right third. (N is below R on the Dvorak layout, so it’s intuitive).
Have a look, might reduce wear and tear on your hands.
