A 32-year-old female with autoimmune lupus presents with a 2-day history of red eyes. There is no pain or discharge, but she states, “my eyes feel a little irritated and I have blurry vision” without a rash around the eyes or face. The patient does not have a history of allergies or upper respiratory tract symptoms. Physical exam reveals diffuse erythema of the eyes, left worse than right eye without discharge, especially pronounced lateral to the iris. What would be the NEXT best step in her care? Group of answer choices a. prescribe a prescription antihistamine for probable seasonal allergies b. prescribe a prescription allergy eye drop for probable seasonal allergies c. prescribe an antibiotic eye ointment for probable bacterial conjunctivitis d. do nothing, because in the absence of discharge it is most likely viral conjunctivitis e. call an ophthalmologist for the patient to have an appointment within 24 hours
