090921 -
090922 -    1.  Sherry used an instrument of some kind to examine the eyes.  It
090923 -        is hand held with a thin cable connected to equipment.  There
090924 -        is no sensation of light penetrating the eye, as with prior
090925 -        tests, so it may have used wave lengths outside visible light.
090926 -        There no awareness of anyhing occurring with this test.
090928 -         ..
090929 -    2.  Patient has one eye covered, and looks into instrumentation.
090930 -        When lights flash at various locations on a background, the
090931 -        patient clicks a recording device.  Each eye is tested for
090932 -        about 4 minutes with perhaps 50 or so flashes of varying
090933 -        intensity.
090935 -         ..
090936 -        The test is somewhat tiring, because of concentration to
090937 -        recognize low intensity flashes.
090939 -  ..
090940 - Sherry said the test did not seem to demonstrate a problem with
090941 - peripheral vision.  Results will be reported to the doctor when she
090942 - returns to the office following vacation in the next week or so, and
090943 - the doctor will make a determination for glaucoma.
090945 -  ..
090946 - Sherry said she will see me for a follow up test next year, indicating
090947 - annual reviews going forward.
