Not significant at all !
You got your numbers correct, mate.

Eye surgeons are in a very lucrative trade. A lot of procedures and a lot of surgeries. Eye surgeries are also priced higher than some operations on other parts of the body. This all translate into a very skewed income advantage for those who specialise in eye.

Many surgeons can buy a car every month if they want. Many people just do not even understand how they can be so rich. $15k is really loose change.
