Day 1-Eye Clinic


Met the Eye Team this morning and headed to the Hospitality Clinic in Lome at 6:45am. We saw 29 cataract evaluations, 24 2-week cataract postop exams, and some other miscellaneous patients. I felt somewhat unqualified, but my mentor Woody was very patient and helpful. I primarily did keratometry and auto-refractions, and I also performed tonometry and a few A-scans using a probe. I haven't seen Julia yet to see how her first day went.

Tonight, the plan is to get an additional orientation to ship protocol and procedures.

It's very warm today-hot, even. It's nice that the Hospitality Clinic is air-conditioned.
