I apologize for how late this post is, it is meant to be for Thursday May 26. Due to cross country travel and the busyness of a speech and debate tournament, I was slightly delayed posting.

This morning Ms. Allen payed us a visit at the Eye Center. We got to talk to her about the experience and finally gave her a tour of the center. After that I continued to shadow Dr. Besharat and I watched her conduct some tests she did conduct previously. She used a dye on the eyes of her patients to check for abrasions and other imperfections on the surface of the eye. Afterwards she conducted an exam on me and went through all of the standard procedures from checking the strength of my eye muscles to checking the health of my eye. Everything checked out! She also tested my prescription and I learned that I needed a new prescription which I was given. Finally, I was able to see Dr. Besharat check patients for potential tumors on their eyes. The below image is of the many bottles of dyes and solutions the doctor’s use on a daily basis. Some are lubricating drops, others are to control allergies, and others are for contact lenses. One of the bottles contains the dye in it.
