• Ensures an understanding of the patient’s condition to aid in the diagnostic procedure and management.

B. Vision Testing and Refraction

• Performs accurate visual acuity, subjective and objective refraction, and other procedures such as keratometry, lensometry, trial fitting, and cycloplegic refraction.

• Correlates clinical findings and determines appropriate optical prescriptions to correct, rehabilitate, or aid a patient's visual problems.

• Determines the need for cycloplegic refraction and whether the needed relaxation of accommodation is attained when performing cyclo-refraction.

C. Binocular Vision Testing

• Performs accurately the tests for accommodation and convergence function, cover test and ocular motility, and stereo acuity testing.

D. Pupil Dilation, Constriction, and Cycloplegic Refraction

• Uses appropriate diagnostic pharmaceutical agents to dilate and/or paralyze accommodation whenever required and observes proper instillation of medicines to ensure maximum effectiveness and minimize risk.

• Provides appropriate instructions and expectations to patients regarding the expected symptoms when using Ophthalmic Diagnostic Pharmaceutical Agents (DPAs).

• Determines if there are contraindications in using Ophthalmic Diagnostic Pharmaceutical Agents (DPAs).

II. DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES

A. Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Cataract Screening

• Performs accurately the following procedures to determine the grade of intra-ocular lenses to be used for cataract surgery and correlate findings:

  • glare test, contrast sensitivity test, potential acuity meter testing, specular microscopy, keratometry, and biometry.

• Determines the good visual outcome of post-op patients taken after 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month or until stable.

B. Refractive Laser and ICL Surgery Screening

• Performs the following procedures accurately for laser vision correction screening and implantable contact lenses:

  • corneal topography, aberrometry, pachymetry, pupillometry, pneumatonometry, cyclo-R, and dry manifest reaction

• Determines the good visual outcome of post-op patients taken after 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month or until stable.

C. Other Diagnostic Procedures

• Performs accurately the measurement of eye pressure using an applanation tonometer, tonopen or pneuma tonometer, tear break up time test (TBUT), Schiemer’s test, visual field test, nerve fiber analyzer, color vision test, and other procedures whenever necessary.
