Upgraded to another Ophthalmology seat: they held theirs and chose Float1

Let their seat go and were allotted another Ophthalmology seat in a later round1

Moved to another specialty1

Let their seat go and held no MCC seat after (1 of them were in a state's counselling)1

Another 50 at these AIRs got Ophthalmology only in Round 2, Round 3 or the stray round.
