    Dialogue.

    Patient: Good morning doctor.

    Doctor: Good morning. How’re you doing today?

    Patient: I’m fine. Thank you. How about you?

    Doctor: I’m good. So what brings you here?

    Patient: I’ve come for a regular checkup for a suspected case of glaucoma. I don’t
    have it, but few years back a doctor after examining my eye and knowing my
    family eye history advised me to undergo precautionary checkup once a year.

    Doctor: I see that your optic nerve is thicker than the normal. That’s probably the
    reason why you were asked to undergo precautionary tests every year. You can
    have the same two tests – visual field analysis and OCT – today and once you’ve
    the two reports, we can meet again in the afternoon.

    Patient: Alright.Thank you, doctor.

    Doctor: I hope you had a smooth experience going through those tests.

    Patient: Yes, it was. And because I’ve taken these tests in the past too, I knew
    what was coming.

    Doctor: Your reports are absolutely fine. Since these reports haven’t shown
    anything suspect in so many years, I think you can now take these tests once in two
    years, and not once a year.

    Patient: OK.

    Doctor: Well, that puts glaucoma thing to rest. Does your work involve working
    on laptop for long hours?

    Patient: Yes.

    Doctor: In case your eyes get tired quickly, I would recommend xxx. It’s an eye
    drop, which you can use 2-3 times in the day. Our eyes get dry when we look at the
    computer screen without blinking for long, a common reason for tiredness in eyes.
    This eye drop will lubricate your eyes.

    Doctor: Do you’ve any other questions?


    Patient: Yes. I see few thin, black, wavy structures floating in front of my eyes
    and they don’t disappear even when I close my eyes. What are they? Are they
    harmful?

    Doctor: They’re called floaters, and most persons develop them to different extent
    as they age. They’re not harmful.

    Patient: Thank you doctor. Thanks for your time.

    Doctor: You’re welcome.
