  3. Method • Used modified Delphi method consisting of online questionnaires with 16 Department of Veterans Affairs optometrists around country.

  4. Results • Process resulted in clinical tool containing: • 17 history questions. • 7 examination procedures.

  5. Conclusion • This tool provides clinical guidelines that can be used by any eye care provider either as screening tool or adjunct to full eye examination for patient with history of mTBI.
