Well Vision Exam

You can use the Well Vision Exam visit type to document a brief visit for patients who are healthy or stable and do not have any specific ophthalmic medical conditions that are the cause for their visit. The Well Vision Exam visit type encounter workflow includes the following template tabs:

  • Intake
  • Well Vision Exam
  • Assessment/Plan
  • Finalize
  • Checkout

You can document the entire well vision encounter on the Well Vision Exam – OPH template or document patient intake on the Intake – OPH template, and then continue with documenting exams on the Well Vision Exam – OPH template.

Additional panels on the Well Vision Exam – OPH template enable you to document visual acuity, refraction, external and slit lamp exams, intraocular pressure (IOP), dilation or other eye drop medications administered to the patient, and a posterior exam. After you have finished documenting exam findings for the well vision exam encounter and printing out a prescription for glasses, perform the standard workflows to complete the encounter on the Assessment/Plan - OPH, Finalize - OPH, and Checkout templates.
