			===Referring to Optometry===
			If you want a patient to have a vision screening, either for concerns from parent/child or due to developmental delay referrals, please:
			*call the front desk for optometry at the time of the visit 6336, OR
			*give the parent the phone number (543-6336) to call and make an appt
			*Optometry recommends calling the clinic directly rather than placing the "Refer to Optometry Internal" Order

			If you want to refer to an optometrist in Anchorage for any reason (most commonly coordination of care with other subspecialty visits), use the "Refer to (Peds/Adult) Other External" order.

			===Visual Acuity===
			A visual acuity can be obtained on most patients. Start with one eye at a time, move from right eye to left eye, then both eyes open. If they are supposed to wear corrective lenses, make sure they are wearing them. Note whether the visual acuities are with or without correction.

			If patients claim they cannot see the chart, attempt to quantify it by other methods. Remember to cover the eye that is not affected. Is their vision completely black? Is it just blurry? Can they see lights? Can they see your face or hand? Can they count your fingers? Note what they can see and at what distance.

			Examples: Finger Counting at 3 ft; sees face but no details; no light perception; able to fixate and follow finger at 2 ft
			===Tonopen Instructions===
			#1 gtt of Proparacaine in each eye.
			#Click blue button once.
			#Holding tonopen perpendicular to patient’s eye, tap in the center of the cornea (aim for the pupil) TEN times. T
			#he tonopen will show you an average reading.
			#Replace used Tonopen cover with a new one after each use before storing.
