Optometry medmal cases concentrate around missed glaucoma (IOP-only workup), retinal detachment recognition delays, missed papilledema with brain-tumor underlying, and contact lens-related corneal infections. AOA + AAO PPP standards define the floors.
Try the 2-min Optometry demo → All specialtiesOptometry cases turn on documented multimodal glaucoma workup (IOP + disc + VF + OCT), same-day exam for new floaters/flashes, urgent referral for papilledema, and annual dilated exam for diabetics.
New floaters/flashes/curtain; no same-day dilated exam or urgent ophth referral; macula-off.
At-risk patient with IOP only documented; no VF or OCT; advanced glaucoma.
Papilledema noted; routine ophth referral instead of emergent neurology + imaging.
Diabetic without annual dilated exam + DR grading.
Abnormal findings not urgently referred; preventable progression.
Soft CL overwear without documented hygiene education; corneal ulcer.
Lock the optometrist into "her IOP was normal so I didn't do further testing," then juxtapose against AOA + AAO standards requiring multimodal workup.
Why this lands: witness has framed normal IOP as ruling out glaucoma when the standard requires multimodal workup.
Optometry cases turn on documented multimodal glaucoma workup + same-day exam for RD symptoms + urgent papilledema referral. AOA + AAO are real published floors.
