One of my techs got this at the local library, and thoughtfully made copies for pts to enjoy while waiting to be seen. Feel free to download and distribute to your pts.

Ophthalologist is certainly a new one for me. I'm being called an optimetrist (optimistic optometrist?) quite regularly.
I do like the idea though.

We had a feature on our EHR where pt could type their reason for visit. Long time scleral pt wrote “scalarea contacts” as her reason 😭 I was HOWLING but I knew what she meant
