  • Title: Determinants of primary care optometry.
    Author: Fair RG.
    Journal: Am J Optom Physiol Opt; 1980 Jun; 57(6):388-93. PubMed ID: 6967699.
    Abstract:
    The frequency with which visual problems, ocular disease, and ocular manifestations of systemic disease are experienced in private optometric practice are the determinants of optometry as a primary care profession. This paper describes the basic optometric services provided and shows that these services identify optometry as a primary care profession. A problem-oriented clinical record indicates by color coding the presence of the conditions diagnosed. A computer number assigned to each coded condition and programmed into the system facilitates data retrieval. The color-coded charts provide ready access for review of specific conditions, whereas the computer permits analysis of data concerning the frequency of each of the identified condition.
