About this template

Need a detailed record of your eye exam? This Ophthalmology Progress Note template is designed for ophthalmologists to document comprehensive patient information. It covers everything from chief complaints and ocular history to visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and detailed findings from various examinations like visual fields and OCT scans. This template helps streamline the documentation process, ensuring all critical aspects of the patient's eye health are thoroughly recorded. With Heidi, this template can be quickly populated from your visit transcript.

[patient full name] was seen for [reason for visit] on 1 November 2024. Past Ocular Hx: The patient has a history of bilateral glaucoma, diagnosed five years ago. Maximum intraocular pressure recorded was 24 mmHg in both eyes. No family history of glaucoma. No ocular trauma or steroid use history. Reports occasional migraines. Previous surgical procedures include trabeculectomy in the right eye in 2020, with good pressure control. Central corneal thickness measured at 540 microns. Chief Complaint (Technician's notes): The patient presents with gradual blurring of vision in the left eye over the past six months. Reports difficulty focusing on near objects. Consulted with an optometrist who noted suspicious optic nerve appearance and referred the patient for further evaluation. No previous consultations with ophthalmologists. The optometrist's findings suggested possible glaucoma progression. The patient denies any other relevant ocular history. The patient is not on blood thinners. Denies history of refractive laser surgery. No history of head concussions. No eye drops were administered on the day of the visit. Allergies: The patient reports an allergy to penicillin, causing a mild rash. Eye Medications: Bimatoprost 0.03% - 1 drop in each eye every evening - Used drops this morning and last night Clinical Examination: Visual Acuity: OD: 20/20, with pinhole correction OS: 20/40, with pinhole correction Intraocular Pressure: OD: 16 mmHg, OS: 18 mmHg Anterior Segment: Mild injection in both eyes. Gonioscopy (Spaeth): Open angles, grade 3 in both eyes, no PAS. Lens: Mild nuclear sclerosis in both eyes. Optic Nerve: OD: Cup-to-disc ratio 0.4 OS: Cup-to-disc ratio 0.6, with inferior notch. Fundus: Normal retinal appearance in both eyes. Visual Fields: (Performed by Dr. Smith on 20 October 2024) OD: Stable superior arcuate defect. OS: Inferior arcuate defect, stable. OCT: RNFL: Thinning in superior and inferior quadrants in both eyes. GCL: Significant loss in both eyes, more pronounced in the left eye. macula: Mild atrophy in both eyes, more pronounced in the left eye. Assessment (Doctor's notes): 1. The patient has primary open-angle glaucoma in both eyes, with stable progression. The patient is tolerating the bimatoprost drops well. No topical allergies noted. 2. Mild nuclear sclerosis in both eyes, not visually significant at this time. Plan: Discussed the risks, benefits, and alternatives of glaucoma management with the patient. The patient agreed to continue with bimatoprost drops. The patient was also informed about the possibility of future cataract surgery if the lens opacities progress. The patient will be scheduled for a follow-up visit in six months to monitor glaucoma progression and visual acuity.
