Abstract:
Ophthalmologic Emergencies in the General Practice Abstract. Even though ophthalmological care is now very well developed even in rural areas, many patients with an eye problem still consult their family doctor or general internist as a first step. The general internist must then decide on an ad-hoc basis if that he or she can manage the problem with a simple treatment available to him or her (tear substitutes, topical antibiotics or a combination of steroids and antibiotics) or if a referral to the nearest ophthalmologist is necessary.
