From Symptoms to Solutions: Managing Anterior Eye Infections
Watch this session to get back to the basics: master slit lamp skills, ask the right questions, and differentiate between bacterial and viral eye infections to provide essential patient care and referrals.
When it comes to the anterior eye, we rely on asking the right questions and using our clinical skills with the slit lamp. Differentiating between an acute bacterial infection that needs immediate treatment and a viral infection is crucial, focusing on symptoms, duration, and findings. In these cases, no fancy instruments can help us out – it’s all about going back to the basics: Advise patients on hygiene, avoiding sharing personal items, and seeking medical attention if symptoms worsen. Or, should we refer acutely?
The session is held by Wamidh Aziz Simawi, Founder and Consultant Ophthalmology Surgeon.
This session took place live on 5 November 2025 at Clinical Conference in Sweden.
