AB  - A  35-year-old  woman  presents  with  2  days  of  redness  and  tearing  in  her  eyes  (Figure  16-1).  She  has  some  thin  matter  in  eyes,  but  neither  eye  has  been  glued  shut  when  she  awakens.  She  does  not  have  any  trouble  seeing  once  she  blinks  to  clear  any  accumulated  debris.  Both  eyes  are  uncomfortable  and  itchy,  but  she  is  not  having  any  severe  pain.  She  does  not  wear  contact  lenses  and  has  not  had  this  problem  previously.  The  patient  was  diagnosed  with  viral  conjunctivitis  and  scored  −1  on  the  clinical  scoring  system  (see  “Diagnosis”).  She  was  instructed  about  eye  hygiene  and  recovered  in  3  days.
