***it's all about the eyes~~***

This is one hell of a new rotation - Opthalmology! For the first time since I got back here I feel like I'm in a totally different world, all lost and helpless...new anatomy, new terms, new diseases new this new that...basically heck of a whole new knowledge!

Anyways...yesterday I had my turn in the OT and was observing 'em doing a few phacoemulsifications (a type of cataract surgery) and a trabeculectomy (surgery for glaucoma)...coolest part was...see the one doing the surgery now, that's Dr. Lee, and the woman in blue scrubs is Dr.Banu. Both of them were taking their turns with each patient. And they kept calling me to sit (at where Dr. Banu is sitting) next to them and observe closely while telling me the details of the whole surgery! So cool...so cool~

The uncool part was..I came out with a convergence squint...aka "juling"
