Evidence-Based Optometry

Once you've gathered background information on your patient's disease, you'll create a foreground question.

Foreground questions are specific questions about your patient's dilemma or problem.

Foreground questions include things like:

• In patients with amblyopia, which is a more effective treatment: patching or glasses?
• What are the potential complications of trabeculectomy for patients with glaucoma?
