AI Medical Scribe for

Orthoptists

Cover tests, prism measurements, and a five-year-old who won't sit still — orthoptic assessment takes both your hands and all your attention. Medical Scribe writes the note from what you say in the room, measurements included.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for orthoptists — ready before your patient leaves the room.

Orthoptic Assessment Ready to copy

Chief Complaint

5F referred after failed school vision screening. Parents have noticed the left eye turning in when she is tired, over roughly 6 months. Wearing her first hyperopic correction (+3.00 OD, +3.50 OS) full time for 6 weeks.

Visual Acuity

  • Distance (crowded LEA symbols, with Rx): 20/20 OD, 20/40 OS
  • Improvement OS from 20/60 at initial visit 6 weeks ago

Binocular Vision and Eye Movement

  • Cover test with Rx: 20 prism diopter esotropia at near, 14 at distance
  • Ocular motility full OU; no pattern deviation, no nystagmus
  • No demonstrable stereopsis on Frisby at this visit

Assessment

Partially accommodative esotropia with moderate amblyopia OS, improving on full-time hyperopic correction. Residual deviation persists with glasses in place.

Management Plan

  • Commence occlusion: patch OD 2 hours daily alongside full-time spectacle wear
  • Patching technique demonstrated to parents; compliance diary provided
  • Review in 6 weeks: repeat acuity, cover test, and stereopsis
  • Ophthalmology review if significant deviation remains once acuities equalize

Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.

Orthoptic clinics are measured in prism diopters and patience

Pediatric patients don't wait for typing

Keeping a child engaged through cover testing, motility, and stereopsis leaves no hands free for a keyboard — so measurements get scribbled and notes get written after clinic.

Management hangs on precise serial numbers

Deviation at distance and near, with and without correction; acuity by age-appropriate charts — patching and prism decisions depend on comparing exact values across visits.

Amblyopia therapy is a long series of visits

Months of reviews tracking compliance, acuity change, and regimen adjustments — each needs consistent documentation so the trend stays readable to you and the ophthalmologist.

Hands on the occluder, not the keyboard

Strabismus assessments, amblyopia reviews, diplopia workups — Medical Scribe records the visit while you test, in person or over telehealth, and drafts the note from your spoken findings. Call out the cover test result as you measure it; it’s in the draft before the child has picked a sticker.

Structured for serial comparison

The Orthoptist’s note documents Chief Complaint, Visual History, Visual Acuity, Binocular Vision and Eye Movement, Assessment, Management Plan, Patient Education, and Follow-Up in the same order every visit — so acuity trends, deviation changes, and patching adjustments line up cleanly across months of amblyopia therapy.

Numbers your ophthalmologist can trust

Surgical planning and patching decisions ride on your measurements. Medical Scribe documents only the values you actually stated during testing — it never invents or rounds a finding — so the co-management record reflects your assessment with nothing added and nothing lost.

Frequently asked questions

Can it handle orthoptic measurements and notation?

Yes. Prism diopter deviations, cover test results at distance and near, motility findings, and stereopsis values you state during testing are documented in the Binocular Vision and Eye Movement and Visual Acuity sections of the Orthoptist's note — never estimated or invented.

Does it work in a noisy pediatric clinic?

It records the visit conversation and drafts the note from what was actually said. You review and edit the draft before signing, so you stay in control of exactly what enters the record.

Do I need consent to record children's visits?

As with any scribe, patients — or parents, for minors — can be informed and consent before recording. Medical Scribe is HIPAA compliant with encryption in transit and at rest, and supports 57 languages for families who speak them.

Will ophthalmologists recognize the note format?

Yes. The Orthoptist's note follows the same structured ocular exam flow used across eye care — Chief Complaint through Assessment, Management Plan, and Follow-Up — so co-managing ophthalmologists can find your measurements and plan immediately.
