Surgeons Restore Sight and Forge Connections in Panama

A patient sits in the postoperative exam room as an ophthalmologist uses an autorefractor to measure how light is affected as it reflects through the eyeball after receiving manual small incision cataract surgery at Regional Hospital Dr. Luis "Chicho" Fabrega in Santiago de Veraguas, Panama, July 18, 2023. The Ophthalmology Medical Readiness Training Exercise (MEDRETE)- Panamax Alpha 2023, an annual TriService mission led by U.S. Southern Command, aimed to enhance the skills and operational readiness of team members by immersing them in a range of prevalent chronic eye conditions in the region.
