Applies to: Dr. McManus Assistants, Clinic Supervisors, Fundus Photographers, Front Office Leads
As the vast majority of patients are being dilated with Tropicamide 1% only, there are times when dilation is not optimal for posterior segment photography.
Whenever Dr. McManus is ordering Fundus or Disc Photos to be performed following an exam – same day – the assistant in the room with Dr. McManus is to add another set of Tropicamide 1% gtts prior to bringing the patient to the photographer. Please note that the second set of gtts has been placed in the patient’s record.
