Overview
There are only few tests which help in prognosis of eye pain.
Laboratory tests
- Routine blood tests are done to evaluate systemic infection
- Rise in white blood cell count
- Rise in CRP signify systemic infection
- Evaluation of diabetes may be useful if immunosuppression is suspected
- Detection of thyroid disease may be useful if proptosis is suspected
- If any discharge is noticed that can be gram stained and cultured
- Intraocular fluids are cultured for cases of endophthalmitis
- Viral cultures can be used to confirm herpes zoster or herpes simplex if the diagnosis is not clear clinically.
