Jason Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Irritant/chemical conjunctivitis results from exposure of the conjunctiva to toxic agents that results in chemosis, edema, and hyperemia. These findings can be very similar to allergic conjunctivitis; therefore, history of exposure to an offending agent is helpful in making the diagnosis. Common exposures are smoke from fires, swimming pool chlorine, household chemicals, and cosmetics.
