Lecture by Dr. Pamela Fong

The lecture by Dr. Pamela Fong was interesting and talked about many things about the eye. From an expert otometrist, I have learned many things. She told us what she looks for in a patient's eye when they come for an eye checkup. She would see what lenses are good for the eyes and decide whether the patients eye is myopic(near-sighted) or hyperopic(far-sighted). She then also checks the physical features and see if the eyes can work together.

Dr. Pamela Fong talked more about the eye and that the eye lids and eye laches protect the eye, and said she checks for diseases on them. She talked about the cornea which is the outer structure of the eye and that helps the focus of the eye. Dr. Fong would go and about the eye structures and talks about the iris which is the color port of your eye and every iris is unique because no one can have the same design/feature of the iris. The iris also blocks the light coming to your eyes.

What really got my attention was that eyes have muscles on the top, bottom, and the sides. I never knew there would be muscles on the eyes. The part where she said that grey rings around the iris shows a sign of cholestrol also got my attention because it was really something amazing. I enjoyed the cool pictures she showed us on the eyes and how some parts of the eye are different in special cases like diabetes. Overall I liked the whole lecture/presentation from Dr. Pamela Fong and gave me a better understanding of the eyes.
