Re: Judith Russo

Dear Dr. Broussard:

I had the pleasure of seeing Judith Russo for an emergent visit with the complaint of severe eye pain. She is a 60 yo woman who developed severe right eye pain after removing her contact lens. She had initially gone to the emergency room but was give some antibiotics and allergy medications that did not relieve the severe pain. On exam, her visual acuities were 20/70- in the right eye and 20/20 in the left with correction. Slit lamp showed a large central corneal epithelial defect. Judith had developed this right after contact lens removal, and I suspect she may have dry eye syndrome and possible recurrent erosion syndrome. I will see her after the corneal abrasion heals for a full eye exam. I would also suggest checking her thyroid function test at the next yearly physical. Thank you for allowing me to participate in the care of your patient.

Sincerely,
David Chen
