Approach to Red Eye

This podcast will give you an approach to red eye. In this episode, listeners will be able to develop a systematic approach to pediatric red eye, guided by key details in the history and physical exam findings, differentiate common causes of pediatric red eye based on symptom pattern and anatomy, list red flag features requiring urgent ophthalmology referral, discuss initial management principles for common pediatric red eye conditions, and identify important pediatric infectious causes of red eye, including HSV keratitis and neonatal conjunctivitis. This podcast was created by Karanvir Gill, a fourth-year medical student at the University of British Columbia, in collaboration with second-year ophthalmology resident Dr. Kim Papp and pediatric ophthalmologist Dr. Jane Gardiner, both from the UBC Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences. There are no conflicts of interest to disclose by the authors.
