Documenting Refractions in the in the Visit Overview (Web)
Document refractions in the Vision Exam section of the Visit Overview. Depending on your selections, Encompass can automatically document the following refractive diagnoses and refraction plan based on the manifest refraction:
- Myopia
- Hyperopia
- Astigmatism
- Presbyopia
- Anisometropia
What do you want to do?
