Taylor is 7-year-old who is brought to the clinic by her aunt because she has had redness in her right eye for 3 days. Today when she woke up, her right eye was swollen, red, and tender. She denies fever.

• What should you ask Taylor about her eye?
• What type of exam(s) should be performed?
• What would be your management for this patient?

SOLUTION

✅ Taylor’s Case: Red Right Eye (7-Year-Old)

---

Questions to Ask Taylor About Her Eye:

• When did the redness start?

• Was there any injury or trauma to the eye?

• Is there any discharge? If yes, what color is it?

• Does the eye itch or feel gritty?

• Is the vision blurry?

• Is there any sensitivity to light?

• Has she had any recent upper respiratory infection or allergies?

• Does she wear contact lenses?

• Has this happened before?

---

Exams to Perform:

• Visual acuity test

• Inspection of eye for discharge, swelling, conjunctival injection, and eyelid involvement

• Eversion of eyelid to check for foreign bodies

• Fluorescein stain with Wood’s lamp to rule out corneal abrasion

• Palpation of periorbital area for tenderness or cellulitis

• Ophthalmoscope exam for red reflex and internal eye structures

• Pupil reaction test for photophobia or afferent pupillary defect

---

Likely Diagnosis:

Hordeolum (Stye) or Periorbital Cellulitis (differential).

---

Management:

• Warm compresses 4–6 times daily if it’s a hordeolum

• Topical antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin ointment) if mild bacterial conjunctivitis

• Oral antibiotics (e.g., Augmentin) if periorbital cellulitis is suspected

• Refer to ophthalmology if not improving in 24–48 hours or if worsening

• Educate on hand hygiene, avoid rubbing eyes, and avoid school until discharge clears
