- For females, it is important to ask about pregnancy and breastfeeding
- A comprehensive review of systems, including ENT, hematologic, cardiovascular, neurologic, endocrine, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, and immunological, is necessary
- Detailed assessment of positive medical and ocular conditions should include date of diagnosis, treatment, dosage, compliance, last medical evaluation, changes in treatment, current status/outcome, and recommended follow-up
- Medication history should cover prescribed medications, dosage, compliance, adverse visual or ocular effects, and allergies/hypersensitivity
- Visual and ocular history should include the last eye exam, age of current prescription, comfort with prescription, contact lens and glasses history, ocular disease treatment, and history of trauma or eye surgery
- Patients should be asked about their vocational, recreational, and social history, including computer use, reading, recreational activities, tobacco/alcohol/illicit drug use, and pertinent medical and ocular family history
- Important hereditary conditions should be inquired about, including autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked recessive inheritance
- Specific complaints of blurred vision, eyestrain, and headaches should be assessed to determine appropriate prescriptions and potential underlying conditions
