“I found the eye to be a very artistic structure. The first time I looked at an iris and a retina through a slit lamp, I was fascinated by their detail and beauty. I also find extremely rewarding to be able to change someone’s life within a few minutes doing cataract surgery,” said Dr. Sheila Pabon. “I decided to join Atlantic Eye Institute because I observed how the doctors enjoy and have fun working with each other. The atmosphere was that of a family.”
