Analysis of visual training cases using an information retrieval system suggests effective patient preselection.
The Vision Training Department of the Optometric Center of New York has established a punch card information retrieval system for classification of visual training cases. The system is designed to permit preselection of patients for the teaching laboratories and clinics of the State College of Optometry, State University of New York. A description of the system is presented along with preliminary analysis of 134 cards selected at random from the first 1200 giving a picture of the clinical cases encountered in an urban institutional practice.
