ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION )K]\MQVNMK\QW][KWVR]VK\Q^Q\Q[Q[M[\QUI\ML\WIMK\UQTTQWVXMWXTM annually in the United States. Although viral conjunctivitis is much more commonly seen than bacterial conjunctivitis, it is important for optometrists to consider both etiologies from the time patients enter \PMKTQVQKIVL\W][M[\I\MWN\PMIZ\I[[M[[UMV\[\WKWV?ZUQVNMK\QW][ etiology. This is important because of the economic and practical implications of missed school and work days due to infectious conjunctivitis. The purpose of this activity is to provide practical information according to clinical best practices and available evidence to improve outcomes for patients with infectious conjunctivitis.

TARGET AUDIENCE This educational activity is intended for optometrists.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this activity, participants will be better able to: ? Compare the clinical presentations of viral and bacterial

conjunctivitis ? Describe how clinical presentation and laboratory testing can be

used to diagnose infectious conjunctivitis ? Identify the types of health and economic costs of infectious

conjunctivitis

IMPROVING THE

RECOGNITION OF VIRAL and

BACTERIAL CONJUNCTIVITIS

INTRODUCTION

Optometrists provide more than two-thirds of primary eye care visits in the United States, and managing patients with acute QVNMK\QW][KWVR]VK\Q^Q\Q[KWV[\Q\]\M[I[QOVQ?KIV\XWZ\QWVWN \PMQZ practice.1 The most common causes of infectious conjunctivitis, nonherpetic viruses and bacteria, cannot consistently be distinguished on the basis of signs and symptoms alone,2 demonstrating a role for testing in some cases. Infectious conjunctivitis causes both social and economic burdens for patients and for parents of pediatric patients.3 Current practice patterns and public health policies may not be entirely evidence-based. Herein, we review the prevalence, burden of LQ[MI[MIVLLQMZMV\QITLQIOVW[Q[WN IK]\M^QZITIVLJIK\MZQIT conjunctivitis.
