Jarett Mazzarella, OD and Justin Cole, OD write about how integrating newer technologies into optometry practices can help detect signs of early glaucoma and how it is integral for providing data to diagnose and begin early treatments.

When performing routine eye exams on Aetna Patients it is a good idea to get in the habit of using Z01.00 OR Z01.01 as your diagnosis code INSTEAD of a code beginning with "H52".
