Which patients are right for OcuPlan
OcuPlan helps patients with a known diagnosed chronic eye disease. Designed specifically for patients with the following conditions:
GlaucomaOcular hypertensionDiabetic retinopathyAge related macular degenerationPatients with the above conditions require regular monitoring, seeing their consultant ophthalmologist at least once a year. We've detailed particular observations for each of the conditions to look out for:
Glaucoma - patients with a visual field defect in one or both eyes or an abnormal OCT disc scan (thinning of the neuroretinal rim).Ocular hypertension - patients with a pressure greater than 21 mmHg and risk factors such as OCT changes, thin corneas, tilted optic discs and peripapillary atrophy or a positive family history of glaucoma.Ocular hypertension - patients with a pressure reading above 25 mmHg even if they have a normal OCT disc appearance.Age-related macular degeneration - patients with dry AMD with poor vision in one or both eyes or any new abnormalities on the OCT macular scan.Diabetic retinopathy - patients with poor control of diabetic blood sugar levels or new abnormalities on the OCT macular scan.If any of the above observations are recognised in any of your patients, they may benefit from joining OcuPlan.
