Which patients are right for OcuPlan

OcuPlan helps patients with a known diagnosed chronic eye disease. Designed specifically for patients with the following conditions:

  • Glaucoma
  • Ocular hypertension
  • Diabetic retinopathy
  • Age related macular degeneration
  • Patients 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.
