The Baltimore Sun recently ran a profile in their business section on Jamie Green, the Refractive Coordinator at the May Eye Care Center: Green works five days a week, starting at 8 a.m. Much of her job is focused on patient consultations. She serves as the first contact for those considering Lasik eye surgery. She meets with two or three patients each day and the consultations usually last about one hour. During this time, she’ll go over the vision correction procedure and answer any questions. She administers a few tests, which include measuring patients’ corneas and checking their eye prescriptions. Typical day: “I’m really trying to make the patient feel comfortable, answer any questions and educate them and help them take the next step,” Green said. She estimates she sees most patients about eight or nine times, starting with the initial consultation and ending with follow-up visits that include annual checkups. Although her job is focused on assisting Lasik patients, the center also offers other eye care, including cataract surgery and clear lens exchange, which she sometimes will suggest to patients.
