Where do you start your history when a patient comes in with vision loss? What are the important red flag causes to rule out in a red eye? And what are the ocular vital signs?

[Oculus @OculusUnimelb]

We're really excited to answer these questions and more in our first interactive talk for the year, Ocular Emergencies with Dr Elena Zhu! This will be hosted on Zoom next Monday 17 May at 7pm.
