Case Example: Post-Op
“Yes, let me go get them.”“OK. This is most likely late swelling in the back of the eye called CME. It responds very well to the same drops you used after surgery. Do you
still have them? Can you show them to me?”
“OK sounds good.”
“Great, lets use them 4 times per day for 1 month and then we will
reassess.”

Triage Tips• Va 20/40, 20/200, CF
• # Days of Symptoms = # Days to be Seen
• Risk of Vision Loss vs Risk of COVID• OK to empirically treat - Example CME• Especially the elderly
• Don’t be afraid to refer without seeing patient
• Now is not the time to be a stickler about refills
• Now is not the time to be a steward of judicious antibiotic use
• The diagnosis is usually in the HPI!Lancet, 3/30/2020

Our Goal for Vision Therapy
• Provide continuity of care for those receiving vision therapy services prior to the clinic closure
![Page 56: Telehealth: Practical Tips for Practicing Eye Doctors ... · “Great, lets use them 4 times per ... TELEHEALTH: PRACTICAL TIPS CONTACT LENS EVALUATIONS. ... Contact lens evaluations](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051909/5ffe9f45818dfc3775745c33/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Tips for implementation• Identifying patients
• Pre-appointment preparation
• Go with the flow
• Post-care follow-up
![Page 57: Telehealth: Practical Tips for Practicing Eye Doctors ... · “Great, lets use them 4 times per ... TELEHEALTH: PRACTICAL TIPS CONTACT LENS EVALUATIONS. ...

Identifying Patients• Review schedules to identify suitability of service
– Ex: Existing vision therapy patients vs existing patients with no prior in-office vision therapy
• At NECO CEC:– Phone consults– Telehealth– We are not providing:
