Eye Exchange
An Afghan medical interpreter listens to U.S. Air Force Maj. Michael Parsons, an ophthalmologist assigned to the 455th Expeditionary Medical Group, as he explains the care and necessary precautions an Afghan soldier must take after receiving a prosthetic eye during treatment at Craig Joint Theater Hospital at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan Aug. 7, 2014. U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Vernon Price, a medical technician also assigned to the 455 EMDG, watches as the soldier looks in the mirror and attempts to get use to his new prosthetic eye. The soldier had enucleation eye surgery after shrapnel from an explosion hit him in his eye. Enucleation eye surgery removes the eyeball, but the eye muscles and remaining orbital contents remain intact. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Cohen A. Young/Released)
