It's late afternoon and a young woman comes to see you with a red eye.
Is it conjunctivitis or sight threatening keratitis?
Endophthalmitis or acute glaucoma?
Should she get a script for a topical antibiotic and go home or could she be blind in 24 hours?
An older man comes in with a "smudge" on his eye.
Is it a pterygium or ocular surface squamous neoplasia?
A cystic naevus, pigmented SCC, melanosis or melanoma?
