VISUAL GUIDE 3 / 3
Turn a label into something the clinician can use
| Instead of assuming… | Describe the observation |
|---|---|
| “Needs stronger glasses” | Cannot see the classroom board with current glasses on; noticed this month. |
| “Reads strangely” | Closes one eye or moves unusually close during a particular task. |
| “Must be myopia” | Describe distance blur, near difficulty, discomfort and when it occurs. Ask what assessment is needed. |
Examples of wording, not fictional patient findings or diagnoses. Bring current correction and relevant records if available, but do not delay urgent care to prepare them.
