### Patient: Doctor, my eye is red and painful, and my vision has been affected as well. I think I might have endophthalmitis. 
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, I recommend that we perform an ophthalmic examination and evaluation (Eye exam) to determine the extent of the infection. We'll also need to perform other therapeutic procedures on your eyelids, conjunctiva, and cornea to help alleviate the symptoms, such as nonoperative removal of any foreign bodies and excision of any skin lesions that may be contributing to the infection. In addition, we'll need to do other diagnostic procedures on your skin and subcutaneous tissue to better understand the root cause of the infection. Finally, we'll want to do a microscopic examination (bacterial smear; culture; toxicology) to determine the type of bacteria causing the infection and to determine the most effective treatment approach.
