ATOMIC

Conduct tonometry or tonography tests to measure intraocular pressure.

ATOMIC

Take and document patients' medical histories.

ATOMIC

Take anatomical or functional ocular measurements, such as axial length measurements, of the eye or surrounding tissue.

ATOMIC

Measure visual acuity, including near, distance, pinhole, or dynamic visual acuity, using appropriate tests.

ATOMIC

Administer topical ophthalmic or oral medications.

ATOMIC

Measure and record lens power, using lensometers.

ATOMIC

Calculate corrections for refractive errors.

ATOMIC

Collect ophthalmic measurements or other diagnostic information, using ultrasound equipment, such as A-scan ultrasound biometry or B-scan ultrasonography equipment.

ATOMIC

Perform ophthalmic triage, in the office or by phone, to assess severity of patients' conditions.

ATOMIC

Clean or sterilize ophthalmic or surgical instruments.

ATOMIC

Educate patients on ophthalmic medical procedures, conditions of the eye, and appropriate use of medications.

ATOMIC

Conduct ocular motility tests to measure function of eye muscles.

ATOMIC

Assess refractive condition of eyes, using retinoscope.

ATOMIC

Conduct visual field tests to measure field of vision.

ATOMIC

Measure corneal thickness, using pachymeter or contact ultrasound methods.

ATOMIC

Measure corneal curvature with keratometers or ophthalmometers to aid in the diagnosis of conditions, such as astigmatism.

ATOMIC

Supervise or instruct ophthalmic staff.

ATOMIC

Measure the thickness of the retinal nerve, using scanning laser polarimetry techniques to aid in diagnosis of glaucoma.

Assist physicians in performing ophthalmic procedures, including surgery.

ATOMIC

Perform fluorescein angiography of the eye.

ATOMIC

Photograph patients' eye areas, using clinical photography techniques, to document retinal or corneal defects.

ATOMIC

Maintain ophthalmic instruments or equipment.

ATOMIC

Conduct tests, such as the Amsler Grid test, to measure central visual field used in the early diagnosis of macular degeneration, glaucoma, or diseases of the eye.

ATOMIC

Conduct binocular disparity tests to assess depth perception.

ATOMIC

Assess abnormalities of color vision, such as amblyopia.

ATOMIC

Call patients to inquire about their post-operative status or recovery.

ATOMIC

Instruct patients in the care and use of contact lenses.

ATOMIC

Conduct low vision blindness tests.

ATOMIC

Perform advanced ophthalmic procedures, including electrophysiological, electrophysical, or microbial procedures.

ATOMIC

Perform slit lamp biomicroscopy procedures to diagnose disorders of the eye, such as retinitis, presbyopia, cataracts, or retinal detachment.

ATOMIC

Create three-dimensional images of the eye, using computed tomography (CT).
