The patient is a man who presents to the urgent care center after waking in the morning with a sharp pain and a feeling of \”something grainy\” in his left eye.
Upon examination, you find diffuse redness of the sclera and conjunctiva, as well as tearing. Additionally, the patient appears photophobic. You are unable to assess visual acuity because he has left his contact lenses out and does not have glasses. Fluorescein examination reveals no defect in the left eye. Funduscopic exam reveals no abnormality.
The patient reports this is the third such episode in a two-month span. View the image taken and consider what your diagnosis would be.
