The Moorfields Eye Hospital has produced a concise advice booklet about Common Eye Conditions in Primary Care.
It includes information about the assessment and management of the following:
- Conjunctivitis
- Dry eyes
- Blepharitis
- Chalazion (Meibomian cyst)
- Stye
- Corneal abrasion
- Corneal foreign body
- Subtarsal foreign body

- Please review the page “When to refer to the ophthalmic department” which clearly divides conditions into categories; those requiring immediate referral, referral within 24 hours or referral within one week, and conditions which can usually be managed in Primary Care.
