• Pain control is the painstay of therapy (no not narcoletics) but cycloplegics like:
  • Cyclopentolate 0.5-2% 1 gtt TID
  • Homatropine 2-5% 1 gtt TID
  • This will relieve pain and photophobia symptoms
• Topical steroid can be initiated to decrease inflammation but should be done in consultation with the ophthamologist
  • Prednisolone 1% 1 gtt every 1-6 hours.
