I entered this internship in the eye clinic with the intent to get everything I can out of it, and in order to do that, I had to keep both of my eyes wide open and observe and take in every portion of this experience. In the short time I interned in the ophthalmology department, I learned a great deal about the happenings in a medical office, which included procedures of eye exams, patient scheduling, organization of medical documents, ophthalmology machines and their functions. Most of the time I was shadowing a technician, which gave me an insider's view of a vision-care provider's actions, and the thinking behind them. Not only did I get to witness techniques performed on patients, I was able to sit in the patient's seat. I went through a basic eye exam, and the biomedical photographer took photographs of my eye. She told me that I have a slightly cupped disc around my optic nerve and this could be an early sign of glaucoma. Experiencing this field on the expert's side and the patient's side truly allowed me to see with both eyes open.
