SUMMARY:The Eyes Have It!
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM \nIt’s such a common procedure today that one may never think about how our predecessors handled this vision problem in the past. Cataracts! After recently having both eyes surgically corrected for cataracts\, our speaker describes how easy the procedure was. \nBut what was this surgery like for our forerunners? You’ll discover the earliest recorded history of cataract surgery and the differing results that occurred in these early times. Today\, cataract surgery is such an easy process that most people take it for granted. \nCataract surgery has a long history in Europe\, Asia\, and Africa. It’s now one of the most common and successful surgical procedures in the world. This is thanks to improvements in the technique in removal of the cataract. Keep your eyes open and follow the trail on this visual journey. \n  \nSPEAKER \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nIn 2010\, after almost 35 years as a dental hygienist\, Linda Percell left private practice to become a full-time educator. As a Clinical Director\, she was instrumental in forming that portion of the Dental Hygiene Program at Houston Community College (HCC)\, Coleman Campus\, which included both didactic and clinical studies. While teaching full-time at HCC\, she also challenged herself to complete her master’s degree in health sciences concentrating on Education. After achieving this accomplishment in 2012\, she decided to take a less stressful role and joined the Department of Dental Hygiene at Lone Star College in Kingwood as adjunct faculty until retirement. \nAfter retiring in 2016\, she now devotes time to her art which focuses on nature. She works with two disparate mediums: graphite and clay. Her studies with clay feature animals and the colors of nature. Her favored use of clay is in hand building and sculpting a myriad of animals in traditional form.\n\n\n\n
