This week we checked off on the Eyes. To assess the eyes, we inspect and palpate (the lacrimal gland which is under the eyebrow and above the eyelid). In the nursing lab we were able to use the ophthalmoscope (instrument for examining the internal eye). It was so amazing to look inside each others eyes, even though it may not have been fun for the person we were practicing on. I was able to see some of the internal structures of the eye like the retina, but it was hard to see anything other than that.
Internal structures of the eye.
The eyes are amazing structures that God has blessed us with. The word "eye" is used a lot in the Bible. I am reminded of Jesus who healed the blind man in John 9. This man was born blind, Jesus spat in the mud and covered the man's eyes with it. He then told the man to wash his eyes off in the water and his sight was restored. Often eyes are used as a symbol to represent salvation. In this story the man not only got his sight back but was able to be saved from judgment. I'm grateful that Christ has opened my eyes to this glorious news of salvation. His works are visible for us to see let us not become blind to them.
