Matt
Matt, an 18-year-old high school graduate, presents to your office in August complaining of recent onset of frequent headaches and fatigue when reading. His first and only eye exam was prior to high school. Matt has never been prescribed glasses or contact lenses. He reports no visual complaints at distance. He is leaving for college in a week.

Practical Preceptorship
Optometry schools and colleges work closely with their preceptors in
