AB An  8-year-old  boy  was  poked  in  the  eye  with  a  small  branch  while  hiking  with  his  cub  scout  pack.  He  presented  with  pain,  tearing,  photophobia,  and  a  foreign  body  sensation.  Fluorescein  application  demonstrated  a  green  area  under  cobalt-blue  filtered  light  (Figure  11-1).  Careful  inspection  with  magnification,  including  eversion  of  the  upper  eyelid,  revealed  no  foreign  body.  He  was  treated  with  antibiotic  eye  drops.  He  showed  improvement  the  next  day  and  over  time  had  complete  resolution.
