# Get Started

# Introduction

As this is a package extension, if you are new to `{admiral}` then the best place to first start reading would be this Get Started guide. This extension package follows the same main idea and conventions, and re-uses many functions from `{admiral}`, so it is important to thoroughly understand these to be able to use `{admiralophtha}`.

# What does {admiralophtha} offer?

The contents of `{admiralophtha}` can be broadly divided into three categories:

- Derivations (i.e. functions): these follow the same conventions as `{admiral}` but are focused on ophthalmology-specific needs. Please see the Reference page for more details.
- ADaM Templates: these showcase ways to apply `{admiral}`, `{admiralophtha}` and Tidyverse functions to create ophthalmology-specific ADaMs. You can see the available templates in `{admiralophtha}` by running: `list_all_templates(package = "admiralophtha")` in the console.
- User Guides (i.e. vignettes): these are documentation pages which walk users through each step of a template, or discuss other ophthalmology-specific topics such as ophthalmology standards. Please see the User Guides section for more details.

# Starting a Script

For the ophthalmology ADaM datasets, an overview of the flow and example function calls for the most common steps are provided by the following vignettes:

- Creating ADBCVA
- Creating ADOE
- Creating ADVFQ

# Support

Support is provided via the admiral Slack channel.
