Eye-opening experiences

We took a little break from our usual schedules to tour Joseph Eye Hospital this morning- the hospital is so specialized that every floor is devoted to different part of the eye (the retina floor, the lens floor...etc).  We received a very thorough 4-hour tour (and got a little loopy) from a kind physiotherapist who allowed us the see every aspect of the hospital.  None of us are particularly interested in eyes, but we were all very good pupils. The hospital is very modern and has a lot to offer its patients--it even operates a free clinic to help villagers and a rehabilitation service for the disabled.  It was exsighting to learn about all that the hospital does to help the surrounding areas.
Our Tour  Guide-- Julian
**I should note that when our tour guide told us the hospital makes their own iPads I was very confused...but things cleared up when he showed me the in-house "eye pad"

Iris you all thought I'm as funny as I do...but I'm sure you are all rolling your eyes as my jokes get cornea and cornea... but hopefully it made you smile?

missing you all,

allie

ps- Happy Birthday Haley-- Eye miss you very much!!!

  1. Glad you got time with a physio, even if he or she was just your tour guide for the day. We also got a tour of the whole opthamology/optometry section of the hospital, but not 4 hours worth geeeez. Maybe they're all just trying to convert us!
