FB of the eye
-workup
-management - ANS -hx is super important here!!!
-dilating eye can be useful here
-Morgan's lens to flush out object otherwise if severe consult ophtho
d/c with ABX + ophtho f/u
when is dilating pupils useful? - ANS when we suspect a FB, Diabetic neuropathy screening / follow
up visit[s]
pt presents with FB sensation, pain, tearing of one eye; no hx of FB exposure or chemical accidents;
no obvious trauma to eye; workup? tx? - ANS suspecting possible corneal abrasion
Fluorosciene stain + Wood's lamp
-ABX: cipro of contacts; erythromycin if no contacts

pt presents w/ large erythmatous lump on their upper eyelash line; denies pain/tenderness;
suspect? management? - ANS Chalazion
warm compress; if not improving, refer to ophtho
