The conjunctiva is …
• A A pesky embryonic mucous membrane remnant that has no redeeming value, like the appendix
• B The clear part of the eye that you see through• C A protective covering of the eye that has a palpebral and bulbar
component that prevents contact lenses from slipping behind the eye and into the brain

Antihistamine/ decongestant combinations, Naphazoline/ Pheniramine
• Naphcon-A®, Opcon-A®, OcuHist®, Visine-A®• These over-the-counter antihistamine/vasoconstrictors are dangerous to children in that the
conjunctiva blood vessels get “dependent” on the vasoconstrictor component. Upon stopping the drug, a rebound vasodilation and hyperemia can occur leading to even worse redness to the eye and irritation.

Take Home Points
• If prescribing antibiotic drops over the phone, red eyes that are not better within 48 hours (on treatment) need to be reviewed
• Treat bacterial infections with appropriate antibiotics (I prefer fluroquinolones tid x 5 days)
• Do not use topical steroid or antibiotic/steroid combinations
• Treat allergic conjunctivitis with appropriate antihistamine/mast cell stabilizers (Pataday or Alaway) and do not use Visine or other vasoconstrictors
• Always check visual acuity
• Rule out ruptured globe or hyphema
• Check ears for Otitis Media, throat and for preauricular adenopathy
