Case Two: Twenty-Six-Year-Old Andy
History
Andy is a twenty-six-year-old male that comes to your office in
January complaining of severe itching, tearing and burning of the eyes.
He also states he has not been able to tolerate the light and most
recently has noted a change in his vision. He denies having any pets and
his girlfriend’s cat, according to him, doesn’t bother him.
His medications include a topical cream the dermatologist gave him for
his eczema, which he has had since a small child. He frequently uses OTC
decongestant drops for his red eyes, but that doesn’t seem to be helping
anymore. During fall he uses over-the-counter antihistamines for his
allergies. His friends and co-workers get “grossed out” at the
occasional large amount of mucous discharge he has in his eyes.
