Record Management
How to use MyGlaucomaCare.com to create and maintain a brief history of your glaucoma care – a free service for registered users
You rely on your doctor to maintain a history of your medical visits. This record may not be readily accessible in all circumstances. In fact, some patients don’t even remember the names of their doctors from the past. To help you better understand your glaucoma and develop a record that will be easily accessible at any time, we recommend that you keep a record of each doctor visit. Over time this will create a short history that may be useful for you in the future. Several key facts should be recorded for each visit.
- Date of the doctor visit
- Name of the Doctor
- Your eye pressure in each eye
- The medications you are currently taking
- Notes about that particular visit
