A 7-year-old Asian girl presented to the Tufts Pediatric Ophthalmology Department for a comprehensive eye examination after a failed vision screening with her pediatrician.
Her mother reported a history of bilateral intermittent ocular redness over the preceding 6 months, which she attributed to ocular allergies. The patient’s pediatrician had recommended using over-the-counter eye itch relief drops as needed, and the mother reported giving these drops as directed without significant improvement in ocular injection. She did not otherwise have concerns about her daughter’s vision.
