Hi Steve



Regarding the naming convention for entering the patients birthday into the
OCT unit, remember that some OCT units use the patients birthday to assist
in determining if that patients OCT results fall within the “Normal” range
expected from the OCT normative database . If you do not enter the correct
birthday this may result in a false positive or negative when compared with
the Normative values of the specific database .



Hope this helps



Stephen

Great thanks for the info. I do have one other question. I know there is
the exam fee for OPS, do we have to pay an additional fee to the company
who comes to our locality to administer the written exam?

Great! You are welcome, Steve.



By the way, I am not sure if you or others out there are aware, but the OPS
Board of Certification has just launched their new, updated OCT-C exam
which now includes Spectral Domain technology. Also, the cost of the exam
has been dropped to *$200* for those taking the exam before September 28,
2014!! The only thing to be aware of is the scores for those taking the
exam during this special pricing period will be held until mid October. So
you would need to wait until then to hear if you passed.



Let me know if you have any other questions, Steve...



Gary

I have quite a mundane question that as a group, we are split on. Under the
naming convention for OCT, do we enter the applicants birthday or is
1-1-1900 simply used as a signifier to satisfy the software requirements.

James,

I figured that. I'm going to try everyone's suggestions this week and
hopefully my eyes will cooperate.

make sure your reticle is very well focused and then focus carefully on the
center of the frame.

carefully and compose within the viewfinder grid.  Good patients would
yield very nice results.
