Study Notes

Case 1: Patient Information

  • 42-year-old male patient, Black ethnicity, with controlled hypertension and pollen allergy
  • Main complaint: reduced near visual acuity (VA)
  • First-time eye test patient

Unaided Visual Acuity (VA) Results

  • Right Eye (RE) unaided VA: 6/9
  • Left Eye (LE) unaided VA: 6/6
  • Near VA: RE N5, LE N5

Refraction and Eye Exam Results

  • Right Eye (RE) refraction: -0.25/+0.25 x 100 (6/6)
  • Left Eye (LE) refraction: plano/-0.25 x 95 (6/6)
  • Near refraction: +0.50 Add (N8) for both RE and LE

Additional Test Results

  • Intraocular Pressure (IOP): RE 18mmHg, LE 20mmHg (at 13:57)
  • Tear Break-Up Time (TBUT) test: RE and LE showed break-up after 5 seconds
