Herpes zoster opthalmicus
VZV in trigeminal ganglion (V1)
Punctuate corneal keratitis: ground glass appearance due to stromal edema
Psuedodendrites
Hutchison sign: vesicles on tip of nose due to nasocilliary branch involvement
Optho consult
Seidel sign

Preseptal cellulitis
Seen primarily in peds
No eye involvement

Treat preseptal cellulitis
Augmentin
Stye
Infection of the oil gland at the lash line; pustule at lid margin

Decreased corneal sensation
Optho consult

Iritis
Red eye, photophobia, and decreased vision
Consensual pain
Treat with cycloplegics (homatropine, cyclopentolate, scopolamine)
