Click on the 'Follow UP I' tab and start with entering the treatment date (and optional treatment time).

 

Note: the treatment date will be memorized and taken as default for new entries until you change the treatment date manually.

Then click on the first row in the follow up table which is displayed under the treatment day field. By doing so the treatment date will be copied as 'FollowUp Date' and labeled as 'preOP' visit.

Then continue using the 'tab key' to the next fields entering UCVA, sphere, cylinder and AXIS as well as BCVA for every follow up visit. UCVA and BCVA must be selected on the drop down lists. SPH, CYL and axis may be typed in directly. You may enter in plus or minus cyl setting.

To enter the other eye's data click on the 'Left eye OS' button and proceed accordingly.

You then can continue to enter follow up data or add new patients and treatments.
