We stand and swap operating-room chairs, soundless in our socked feet. The room is silent as I run through the steps at the microscope: corneal incisions, viscoelastics, capsulorhexis — the tearing with forceps of a small circular hole in the anterior capsule to gain access to the lens. I breathe shallowly, trying to avoid making a sound with each inhale and exhale; the casual chit-chat common in operating rooms is conspicuously absent. I am relieved to hear the ding and musical crescendos of the phacoemulsification machine as it uses fluid and ultrasound to remove the cataract fragments. Silence returns as I insert the new lens and complete the final steps of the procedure. Then Dr. X nudges me aside to remove the speculum that holds open the eyelids and she pulls off the sterile drape covering the patient's face, which also prevents him from seeing.
