This is a cool interactive site where you can see patients, do tests, and try to determine their problem.

Go into the medicine cabinet and drag the anesthetic to the eyes. Then move the slit lamp over to the patient and click on the tonometer.rkl_OD2be said:

I had the slit lamp and was clicking everywhere I could think of for the tonometer. Forgot the drops. Good thing I'm not seeing real patients yet
.Simple mistake. When I was a student my wife sat as a patient for the national boards. One guy forgot to put the anesthetic in before putting a gonio lens on her eye. Unfortuately, the examiner had to wait until he actually placed the lens on the eye so there could not be an appeal, but as soon as it hit the eye the test was halted immediately.rkl_OD2be said:I had the slit lamp and was clicking everywhere I could think of for the tonometer.

A very interesting site, but hardly a day in the life of an optometrist.
Where was the teenager who wanted colored contact lenses but who's mother was angry at the fitting fee?
Where was the beligerant presbyope who wanted to get their glasses from Costco?
Where was the patient whos insurance denied reimbursement for their eye exam last year, and who has still not paid their bill?
Where was the patient who chews YOU out because it takes two weeks to get a pair of glasses from VSP?
Where was the patient who moans about the glasses that they got from your office 5 years ago but is furious that they broke yesterday. (should have a lifetime warranty!)
Where was the patient who demands to be seen, but has no idea what their new vision insurance is?
I mean, Cmon.
ooo here's one I had last week:
The patient who threatens to sue you because your office doesn't take medicare.
