    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Optometry is a primary care profession, as demonstrated by the frequency of visual problems and diseases managed in optometric practices. A color-coded, computerized record system aids in tracking diagnosed conditions and analyzing their prevalence.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Primary Care Medicine
    • Optometry

    Background:

    • Optometry's role as a primary care profession is defined by the prevalence of visual issues and diseases encountered in practice.
    • Understanding the frequency of these conditions is crucial for defining optometric scope and services.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe basic optometric services and establish optometry as a primary care profession.
    • To introduce a novel clinical record system for tracking and analyzing diagnosed conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a problem-oriented clinical record system with color-coding for diagnosed conditions.
    • Assigned computer numbers to coded conditions for efficient data retrieval.
    • Employed color-coded charts for condition review and computer analysis of frequency data.

    Main Results:

    • The described optometric services align with primary care principles.
    • The color-coded and computerized system effectively facilitates data retrieval and analysis.
    • Data analysis revealed the frequency of various diagnosed conditions within the practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Optometric services, by their nature and the conditions managed, confirm optometry's role as a primary care profession.
    • The implemented record-keeping system enhances clinical review and epidemiological analysis of ocular conditions.
    • This approach provides valuable insights into the prevalence of visual problems and ocular diseases in optometric settings.
