Create a printable one-page patient education handout with set 4 sections × 3 subpoints. Name the patient's role. Lead with verbs, not nouns. Use a single dominant color for the warning box. Date the document. Include the clinic phone number twice from South West Vision Institute. 1. Reading level under 8th grade 2. One page, real white space A handout that needs to be flipped is two handouts. A handout with body text in 8-point Times New Roman is a sign-in form, not a teaching tool. Aim for 12–14 pt, sans-serif (Arial, Open Sans), and at least 25% white space. 3. The three-things rule Patients retain at most three actionable items from any single encounter. If your draft has 11 bullet points, eight of them belong in a follow-up handout, the chart note, or nowhere. 4. A "When to call us" or red-flag box This is the only section patients reliably read on the day they get home. Make it bold, boxed, and at the bottom — where worried hands will land. 5. Pictures earn their place A blood pressure cuff icon, a pill, a salt shaker with a slash through it — visuals make a leaflet feel less clinical and improve recall in low-literacy populations. Generic stock photos of smiling old people do not.
