History gaps cost diagnostic accuracy
Missing prior surgery dates, old medication lists, and unrecorded family history lead to avoidable clinical errors.
Prior surgeries invisible
Past cataract or retinal procedures not captured create dangerous blind spots at the next consultation.
Medication conflicts
Unknown prior steroid use or anticoagulants discovered mid-procedure creates risk.
Family risk underweighted
Glaucoma or macular degeneration family history, if not recorded, delays preventive screening.
