AB Always  begin  with  visual  acuity,  the  vital  sign  of  the  eye.The  patient  should  be  instructed  to  remove  contact  lens  and  not  to  put  them  back  in  until  the  symptoms  have  resolved.The  presence  of  pain  and  the  relief  of  pain  with  instillation  of  anesthetic  agents  are  helpful  in  determining  the  cause  of  red  eye.Follow  a  systematic  approach  to  the  physical  examination:  visual  acuity,  lids  and  lashes,  conjunctiva,  sclera,  cornea,  pupil  examination,  and  anterior  chamber.Never  prescribe  topical  steroids  without  consulting  with  an  ophthalmologist.
