Ophthalmologymiddle twist
A 22-year-old student attends a rural emergency department at 9 pm with a painful red left eye. She wears monthly soft contact lenses and slept in them last night. Visual acuity is 6/24 on the left and 6/6 on the right. There is a 2 mm white opacity just below the centre of the left cornea that stains with fluorescein, and the redness is most intense at the limbus. The nearest ophthalmologist is three hours away and will review her in the morning. Which one of the following topical regimens should be started before she is transferred?
