Fun day with ophthalmology

Today we had a lecture from a local ophthalmologist, then we went to his office.  At his office, we each had an eye dilated and were allowed to look into each other's dilated eyes with our ophthalmoscopes and with the slit lamps, as well as checking each other's vision.  This was really neat, because we have been trying to use our ophthalmoscopes with undilated eyes up until now, and the pupils have been so small we had a hard time seeing much at a time.

One of the other ophthalmologists in the office invited us to come watch an upper eyelid repair on a patient who had droopy (ptotic) lids, so several of us took turns watching.  That was pretty neat as well.
