Diagnostic Approach
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:
“I am always glad to think that my education was, for the most part, informal, and had not the slightest reference to a future business career. It left me free and untrammeled to approach my business problems without the limiting influence of specific training.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
