Complete the eye evaluation within the assigned professional role and document the examination findings. The work supports the Veteran disability evaluation process, with attention to objective assessment and a clear record of what was evaluated. The examination record brings the relevant history and findings together for review.

Check that the completed material is consistent with the information reviewed and the examination documented, with enough clarity for the next reviewer to follow the assessment.

Review the available information relevant to the assigned eye evaluation and establish the history to be addressed during the visit.

Communicate relevant questions through the examination team’s established workflow. A consistent approach to records and communication helps the next person reviewing the material understand what happened during the visit and what information was documented.

Professional Practice
