The Red Eye - Optic Surgeon Podcast

In this episode, Optic Surgeon tackles the red eye, a ubiquitous yet critical presentation for ophthalmology residents and final-year MBBS students. Using a high-stakes case, we explore causes from benign conjunctivitis to vision-threatening emergencies like keratitis, uveitis, and orbital cellulitis. We provide a systematic, anatomy-based framework for history, examination, workup, and management. A high-yield board pearl highlights red flag signs (vision loss, pain with movement, proptosis, RAPD, corneal infiltrate, cells/flare) to prioritize urgent conditions. Essential for clinical excellence. #Ophthalmology
