B. Chart Note

This 36-year-old woman presents with the complaint of dacryorrhea and irritation OS for about
48 hours. She has a thick mucous discharge that sticks the lids together overnight. Vision seems
fine except for blurring by mucus. She denies trauma or ocular pathology. No symptoms of URI or
allergy. She has no photophobia and has not been around anyone with pinkeye.
The conjunctiva (OS) is diffusely hyperemic, and there is chemosis (edema of the conjunctiva)
and moderate lid edema. Traces of mucopurulent discharge are evident on the lid. Exam with
Pontocaine (local anesthetic) and fluorescein reveals no corneal abrasions or ulceration. No
foreign bodies are noted on the palpebral conjunctiva. PERRLA. Ocular fundus is normal. Slit-lamp
examination shows no pathology in the cornea, anterior chamber, or lens. Tonometry is deferred.
Far point vision testing with the Snellen chart is 20/20 in each eye.
Diagnosis is acute bacterial conjunctivitis OS.
