Procedures to include in an examination in routine practice
- A153
- In addition to the procedures for a routine eye examination, you should select additional ones according to the patient’s clinical need. You should normally:
- assess the optic nerve head. This would include assessing the size of the disc, and
- measure the IOP. See para A158.
- A154
- If a patient refuses to consent to tonometry, after you have explained the reason for this procedure, you should record the patient’s reason for refusal. You should use your professional judgement to decide how best to manage the patient.
