Traverse City’s new eye educator

Exciting news! From right here in Traverse City, Potthoff Eye Care & Surgery will be welcoming a new contributor to our website, Paula! Paula is our wonderful office manager who helps out in a variety of roles, including scheduling and greeting patients, answering the phones, answering questions regarding the logistics of having cataract surgery in Traverse City , and helping our patients understand their insurance coverage.

Paula comes to us without any experience in ophthalmology or optometry, so she has been learning a lot about what goes on in an eye doctor’s office! Since I’ve been doing nothing but eyes for a number of years, we thought it would be fun and helpful to visitors for Paula to shed a newcomer’s perspective on her journey to learn about the eye. Paula will be writing  about anything she finds interesting about ophthalmology, from the optics of glasses, to how modern cataract surgery is performed, and more!

Stay tuned for her first post about basic eye anatomy and the various structures of the eye!
