Record visual fields interpretation and report the right way.
Visual fields are a compliance hot spot. Optometrists should use the visual field interpretation and report (I&R) to record what their thinking process was at that moment by recording any changes noticed, how the field compares to other testing like OCT (92135, Scanning computerized ophthalmic diagnostic imaging, posterior segment, [e.g., scanning laser] with interpretation and report, unilateral), their plan for treatment (or not) and when the field needs to be run again.
Do this: Do the I&R so that you can pick it up in one year and know exactly what you were thinking and seeing at that point without having to re-analyze the field and previous fields. Use the form below to keep your records complete.
