Ophthalmologic procedures.

Abstract

Step-by-step instructions for the most common and difficult ophthalmologic procedures that are performed in an emergency department. Foreign body removal, including rust rings, is explained with an emphasis on limiting further injury to the corneal epithelium and stroma. Patching, irrigation, contact lens removal and corneal culture techniques are explained. Three methods of assessing intraocular pressure are described.
