The study ophthalmologist's review is the gold standard for comparison with GP and patient assessments. For acute or subacute pathology, the ophthalmologist directly refers the patient to a specialist and ensures the care plan is communicated. The ophthalmologist sends a summary letter to the patient's GP and to the optometrist for educational purposes. For normal findings or routine referrals, the GP communicates results to the patient.
