Misdiagnosis and Red eye

Chronic lung diseases hard to diagnose: Some of the chronic lung diseases are difficult to diagnose. Even the well-knowns conditions such as asthma or lung cancer often fail to be diagnosed early. Some of the chronic lung diseases with diagnostic difficulties include asthma (perhaps surprisingly), COPD, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, mesothelioma, smoker's cough, AIDS-related respiratory conditions (see AIDS), chronic pneumonia, and other respiratory diseases. Rare possibilities include diseases like psittacosis (bird-related lung infection). See other types of chronic lung diseases....read more »

Diagnostic tests for Red eye:

Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Red eye. Some of these are listed below :

  • Eye inspection
    • Note the nature of the red eyes i.e. localized or diffuse redness - e.g. conjunctivitis has clearly defined vessels that covers the entire sclera (white of the eye); episcleritis and scleritis have larger blood shot vessels and are concentrated towards the cornea (coloured area of the eye); iritis has a parallel arrangement of vessels around the periphery of the cornea that are not clearly defined; subconjunctival hemorrhage is a beefy red localized hemorrhage with a definite margin.
    • If pain is present and is relieved by local anesthetic drops, this suggests a surface problem such as a corneal ulcer. If eye pain is unrelieved by the anesthetic drops, a deeper problem must be suspected such as iritis
    • View iris for any irregularity which may suggest intraocular foreign body
    • Stain the surface of the eye with fluorescein eye drops to view the cornea for any foreign bodies and defects. Note any dendritic (branching) ulceration typical of herpes simplex infection
    • Evert the eyelids searching for any foreign bodies, for fine follicles of viral infection or cobblestone follicles indicating viral conjunctivitis

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Red eye. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

  • How long have you noticed the red eye? - to determine if acute or chronic.
  • Is it one or both eyes? - if only one eye is red, consider trauma, foreign body, corneal ulcer, iritis, viral conjunctivitis, acute glaucoma. Bacterial conjunctivitis usually starts in one eye but quickly spreads to the other eye.
  • What was the manner of onset i.e. sudden or acute - e.g. conjunctivitis or iritis usually has a gradual onset; small foreign body will produce a rapid blood shot eye.
  • Is the patient less than one month old? - suggests neonatal conjunctivitis and possible causes include Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhea, herpes simplex type 2 and other common bacterial organisms. Both parents must be tested for venereal disease and treated accordingly.
  • Is the patient elderly? - elderly patients have an increased risk of acute glaucoma, iritis and herpes zoster of the eye.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)

Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Red eye) may include:

  • Vision disturbance? - acute glaucoma causes haloes around lights; may have blurred vision with contact hypersensitivity, herpes simplex keratitis, corneal ulcer and acute iritis.
  • Eye pain? - Eye pain occurs with iritis, scleritis, episceritis, keratitis, foreign body, glaucoma, cluster headache and herpes zoster. If absence of eye pain may suggest conjunctivitis, marijuana use or alcohol hangover.
  • Discharge from eye? - Pus -like discharge with lids sticking together in the morning is typical of bacterial conjunctivitis; watery discharge in viral and allergic conjunctivitis and contact hypersensitivity; reflex wateriness with herpes simplex, corneal ulcer, acute iritis and acute glaucoma.
  • Photophobia (intense dislike of light)? - may suggest herpes simplex, corneal ulcer, iritis, welding flash burn and acute glaucoma.
  • Watery eyes for sometime beforehand? - suggests viral conjunctivitis that may later become bacterial conjunctivitis.
