I am doing my first batch of ophthalmology reports today, and I'm looking up every other word haha. I can't seem to find this one.

He says "Patient is in for s/l Skittle followup."

I don't have an ophthalmology book since I have never done it before, but I have checked some wild cards on onelook with no luck. Could this be an acronym for a procedure like SKTL or SKDL that he is sounding out?

Thanks for any help. My line count is low, but I'm sure learning a ton today haha.

Nite, I'm gonna give you a break. I believe the patient is coming in for "scheduled" followup. \:\)

Good luck with the rest of your day!

QA is gonna love that blank.

Thanks, Endiqua.
