Hemorrhagic conjunctivis Subconjunctival hemorrhage allergic conjuctivitis bacterial conjuctivitis EYE: While allergic conjunctivitis is benign it is characterized by itchy eyes with clear discharge not blood.

Seidel (2011), p. 274. Peripheral vision is assessed by which test? Confrontation Pupillary reaction Accomodation Snellen E chart EYE: The confrontation test measures peripheral vision. The examiner sits or stands across from the patient and asks the patient to close one eye while the examiner closes the opposite eye. The examiner then proceeds to wave the fingers while moving the extended arms from a lateral to a central position along both the temporal and the nasal fields. The pupillary reaction test is done by observing the pupil’s response to light. The accommodation test deals with pupil reaction to light, whereas the Snellen chart measures visual acuity. The swinging flashlight test evaluates the health of the optic nerve by looking for an afferent pupillary defect. Seidel, p. 271 Nasal symptoms that imply an allergic response include: Deviated septum Bluish grey or pale pink turbinates Purulent nasal discharge Small atrophied nasal mucous membranes NOSE: An allergic finding includes bluish gray or pale pink nasal turbinates that are swollen and boggy and a transverse crease at the junction between the cartilage and the bone of the nose.
