Let us go to a very common topic of red-eye which is a day to day disorder seen by not only ophthalmologists but primary health care physicians all every ocular condition be it inflammatory bacterial viral physical factors traumatic fungal allergic radiational change in weather neoplastic And no end to this list. Red-eye for an ophthalmologist bilateral redness of eyes is a relatively mild or simple case of conjunctivitis, but if we have a unilateral red eye things can be different so for a primary health care physician sees a case of this entity.
It is better to have an ophthalmological consultation for me 3 important conditions have to be excluded from the unilateral red eye keratitis bacterial or viral subacute or acute iridocyclitis subacute or AAC glaucoma though there can be a lot of other causes for the unilateral red eye. But, for me, these 3 conditions shoud be excluded
