Hi guys. Thanks for joining. We'll just give it a few minutes um, before we get started. So if you haven't got a cup of tea or a drink, um, you're feel free to get one and we'll start in about three minutes. Great. We can get going. Um Welcome everyone to our ophthalmology Rapid Review. Um I'm Wesley and F two in Tayside in Dundee and I'll let Jessica introduce herself. Yes. Hi, I'm Jessica and I'm an fy one in Tayside also. Um, so thank you so much for joining us this evening to learn a little bit of ophthalmology. Yeah. So we're just, um, we've got a few questions that we'll be going through with you guys today. Um Super safe space. Don't worry if there's any silly questions or if we're asking any questions, um, we're just keen to get you guys in inter involved and keep it interactive. So if you've got an answer, you think you've got an answer, just pop it in the chat and that keeps things going. Um Even if it's the wrong answer, that's no problem. That's something that we can talk about and we can then think about why it might be a different answer and we'll go from there. So without much further to do uh much further ado we'll start with the first question for each of the questions. Uh We'll pop the slide on. We'll give it about a minute and we'll use a pole so everyone can pop your answers in and then we'll um talk about why, that's the, the right answer and why the other ones might not be the right answer. Let's get going the first question on acute red eye. Um So I think that's most people answered there. So most people have gone for topical chloramphenicol, which is absolutely correct. So, if you've done that, that's perfect. If not, um, we'll have a quick slide just talking about conjunctivitis. So, in this question, we had a 12 year old girl with two day history of a red eye with some discharge. Um It's a bit sticky. She's got nothing else going on. There's no, um, pain and she doesn't use contact lenses. Her pupils are reactive. Um So when we think about conjunctivitis, we've got a wee picture here. It's often a red eye. It can either be sticky or watery. Often if it's sticky, you'd be thinking something bacterial. If it's watery, you'll be thinking something more viral. Sometimes people have a bit of a gritty feeling, but they shouldn't have any pain that's not normal with conjunctivitis. Um, it often resolves within 5 to 7 days if it's bacterial. If it's viral, it often takes a wee bit longer to resolve. So, 1 to 3 weeks. Um and the important thing to note is that in a neonate, so anyone under 28 days old, um it require, it's, it's more of an emergency. It requires um ophthalmology intervention. And if it's something like chlamydia and gonorrhea in neonates, it requires s um systemic treatment. We go to our second question.
