Under the knife - photos
Here are four photos of Jen's procedure today.
Stylin' with a new hat.
And boots to match...
Starting on the left eye.
The instrument in the nurse's hand is the
Micro Keratome which is used
to cut the flap in the cornea.
Working on the right eye.
A lot of times there were people crowding around
and blocking the view so I didn't take more photos.
There was also the video feed from the Doctor's microscope and watching that was really cool.
I am not an eye surgeon but watching all of the people at
Pacific Cataract and Laser I can tell that they are true professionals. When the technician is looking through an instrument and reaches out to flip a switch, there is no fumbling around, she gets the switch without having to take her eye off the screen. The Surgeon has very steady fluid and economical movements -- there is no wasted motion and it looks like he has done this a few times before...
Good people...
