What do cataract surgery and the International Space Station have in common? Our very own Dr. Morgan Micheletti!
Dr. Micheletti partnered with NASA and Space Center Houston to send cataract surgery materials to the ISS as part of the groundbreaking JAMES mission. This project is about preparing for the day when someone needs cataract surgery far from Earth, while also helping us refine the lenses we use every day in our operating rooms in Houston.
From Berkeley Eye Center to beyond, we're proud to have a team that doesn't just practice medicine—they push the boundaries of what's possible.
Watch Dr. Micheletti's incredible journey and learn how space research is improving your eye care. 👁️✨
