PLAN:
1. Patient educated; Encouraged good blood pressure control;
monitor at complete.
2. Educated patient; monitor at complete.
3. Patient education on findings, the benefits/risks of
lifestyle modifications and appropriate antioxidant therapy
for risk reduction. Continue AREDS2 BID. Continue
monitoring amsler grid and RTC ASAP with changes seen,
otherwise monitor complete.
4. Patient educated; Stressed importance of continued follow
up to monitor for progression. No treatment warranted due
to stability since 2013. Monitor complete. Repeat special
testing as clinically indicated.
5. Patient educated; Encouraged OTC ATs TID OU. Monitor
complete.
