(2) If the condition is unstable, during the adjustment of medication or recently after surgery, the number of follow-ups is more frequent and should be reviewed at the time requested by the doctor.  4.What tests should be done at the time of review: (1) Visual acuity and intraocular pressure should be checked at each review.  (2) According to the situation, the optic nerve and visual field should be checked according to the follow-up plan.  5.What to do at the time of review: (1) If you are using medication, you should still order the medication on the day of review in the same way as usual.
