Mrs. Jane Doe 01/01/1950 - St. Thomas' Hospital clinic appointment Dear Mrs. Jane Doe, **Visual acuity:** Right eye: 20/20 Left eye: 20/20 **Intraocular pressure:** Right eye: 16 mmHg Left eye: 17 mmHg **Diagnosis:** - Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) - Mild cataracts Mrs. Doe presented today for a routine eye examination. Visual acuity was assessed using the Snellen chart, revealing 20/20 vision in both eyes. Intraocular pressure was within normal limits. Examination of the fundus revealed early signs of age-related macular degeneration in the right eye, with some drusen present. The left eye also showed similar, but less pronounced, changes. Mild cataracts were noted in both eyes. We discussed the findings with Mrs. Doe, explaining the nature of AMD and the importance of regular monitoring. We also discussed lifestyle modifications, including a diet rich in antioxidants and the use of UV protection. Mrs. Doe was advised to return for a follow-up appointment in six months for further assessment and monitoring of her condition. She was also provided with educational materials about AMD and cataracts.
