What are some subjective and objective data for bacterial keratitis?
Objective data according to
EYES
Inspection
• Eyebrows/lids and lashes
• Iris and pupils
• Position of eyes (alignment/protruding/sunken)
• Bulbar conjunctiva and sclera
• Lacrimal apparatus and puncta
• Palpebral conjunctiva
Palpation
• Eyebrows and eyelids for tenderness
• Lacrimal apparatus
Tests
• Evaluating vision
o Visual acuity
Snellen
o Near vision
o Visual fields/peripheral vision
Confrontation test
• Extraocular muscle function
o Corneal light reflex
o Cover test
o Cardinal fields/positions test (6)
• Other tests
o Pupilary reaction to light
Direct
Consensual
o Accommodation and convergence
Solution
Subjective data is often collected for the infectious bacterial keratitis in which severity (pressure, itchy, irritation & spasm) duration of pain can be denoted via patient assessment finally examined for vision loss
Objective data is mainly for bacterial keratitis in which levels of photophobia, lacrymation & grimacing via inspection & physical observation of the eye finally examined for vision and visual acuity. These aspects are going to be collected from the conjuctiva of eye, eye lids & eye lashes, opacity of cornea is observed by comparing affected and unaffected eyes for position of the eyes, lacrimal apparatus and puncta
