OD Portal: Referring a Patient
Welcome to the Insight Eye Center OD portal. Referring optometrists can download the referral sheet here, see how referrals and post-operative co-management work with Dr. Michael E. Rom, and reach the Mentor office directly. Patients you refer are seen for cataract, glaucoma or medical evaluation, and a report comes back to your practice.
How do I refer a patient to Dr. Rom?
Download the optometric referral sheet, complete it with the patient's details and the reason for referral, and send it to the office; then have the patient call (440) 286-1188 to schedule, or ask the office to call the patient. Referred patients are seen for a cataract evaluation or consultation, and a report goes back to you after the visit.
