Ophthalmologists encounter patients every day, some who will be facing difficult and extremely delicate surgical procedures. As the physician-patient relationship begins and the ophthalmologist is working to properly diagnose, treat and manage the patient’s condition, they must also play a role in reducing patient anxiety and tension.

Inside the pages of Jokes Get in Your Eyes, Dr. Lucio Buratto brings a lighter side to the ophthalmology profession. Sometimes a smile can be the first step to reducing patient anxiety and tension. Sometimes laughter can be therapeutic.

Jokes Get in Your Eyes contains 40 Jokes and 80 cartoon illustrations—all in a pocket size handbook that can easily fit into a lab coat pocket. Reading thru Jokes Get in Your Eyes, ophthalmologists will be able to bring a smile to their day, as well share a joke or two among colleagues.

**From the Foreword:**With his latest book, Jokes Get in Your Eyes, it is amazing that he was able to accumulate so many jokes related to the eyes. It is refreshing to have a physician who is so well rounded.”
