Some people love to talk and others prefer to listen.\u00a0 Anyone who knows me is aware I love to talk!\u00a0 In some visits talking it not the primary tool I use because the patient is not able to talk.\u00a0 In order to gain insight into how the patient is feeling I look at the patient\u2019s eyes.\u00a0 The way they are positioned along with the eyelids and eyelashes gives me important clues into how the patient is feeling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Look at image one in this post.\u00a0 The eyes project an image of calm and contentment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Look at image two in this post.\u00a0 The eyes project to me an image of concern and\/or pain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the patient is unable to speak but is able to respond to questions I use a different set of questions depending on what visual clues I gain from looking at the eyes.\u00a0 Very rarely do the eyes lead me astray in my assessment of the patient.<\/p>\n
