Charting Pediatrics


Feb 23, 2021

The first person to see a child following an eye emergency plays a critical role in preventing and treating an eye injury and subsequent visual loss. A basic, five minute eye exam can help providers determine how urgent an ocular problem is and the appropriate treatment approach. In today’s episode Emily McCourt, MD shares clinical pearls to help providers diagnose and triage a child who presents with an eye injury. 

Dr. McCourt is the Chair of Pediatric Ophthalmology at Children’s Hospital Colorado and is Associate Professor of Pediatric and Adult Strabismus at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
