During the 2020 Spring semester, I had the opportunity to shadow an ophthalmologist out of ReVision Lasik and Cataract Surgery. I spent a few hours in the operating room watching cataract surgeries and an emergency surgery in which sutures were placed in the eye. I was able to see the other end of the optical field and understand what happens when patients are referred to an ophthalmologist for cataract-removal surgery. I was able to see pre-operative care and since I have had experience as an optical technician, I have seen patients follow up with their optometrist for post-operative care. When I become an optometrist, I will be able to tell my patients what to expect and how the surgery will go as a result of my shadowing experience at ReVision.
