Eye algorithms (main)

Background

Eye anatomy.

Algorithms

Algorithm for the evaluation of red/painful eye

Eye Algorithms

• Red eye
  • Bilateral red eyes
  • Unilateral red eye
  • Red eye (by symptoms)
  • Red eye (peds)
    • Neonatal conjunctivitis
• Periorbital swelling
• Acute vision loss (noninflamed)
• Acute onset flashers and floaters
• Painful eyes with normal exam
