Eye Infection and Foreign Body Analysis

Oh, what the?

We got multiple things going on here.

On the white of the eye, we see this black thing

with a red circle.

Is it a foreign body that is there?

It could be.

That's been now embedded.

And then obviously, medial or more inside

to that that looks like pus and swelling.

Every time they actually lift up on the upper eyelid,

you actually see some what appears

to be purulent material coming out of the lacrimal area.

So there could be an infection within this area, which

needs and requires antibiotics, as long as it's draining.

It's a foreign body in the eye.

The reason why maybe it's lasted a long time,

it's in the sclera.

Sclera doesn't have as much nerve endings

as, say, your cornea, which is the area of cells that

are over the colored part of your eye as well as the pupil.

But the bigger concern is that there's a potential infection

as well in the eye, so you have to make sure

that you're giving the appropriate antibiotics

and have the appropriate follow-up.
