Namibia Surgical Mission Trip
Dr. Davidorf checks a patient’s vision after her laser vision correction surgery and gives her the universal sign of success to assure her that she is doing well. Other patients are waiting, their own charts in hand, for their turn to be examined. Space and staffing are limited, so it is common to have 15 patients sleeping in one room for a week or more during the perioperative period.

Dr. Jonathan Davidorf escorts his patient from the surgical suite into the recovery area. Because of less sophisticated instrumentation and the need for larger incisions during the cataract procedure, it is necessary for the patients to wear eye patches for 24 hours. In private practice in California, the cataract procedure has been refined to a 10 minute procedure in which the patient normally leaves the outpatient surgery center without the need for an eye patch.
