Particular signs and symptoms may indicate that the underlying cause is serious and requires immediate attention and, consequently, the examiner conducting the eye examination should be alerted by their presence.
Six such signs include: conjunctival injection, ciliary flush (circumcorneal injection), corneal edema or opacities, corneal staining, abnormal pupil size, and abnormal intraocular pressure.

Famous quotes containing the word approach:
“... the ordinary is simply the universal observed from the surface, that the direct approach to reality is not without, but within. Touch life anywhere ... and you will touch universality wherever you touch the earth.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
