title: [Ocular redness in general medicine].
abstract: Ocular redness is analysed within the framework of the practice in general medicine. The stress of this work is laid on the development of clinical and anamnestic criteria (pain and diminution of visual acuity) which allow to suspect a serious pathology of the eye. The systematic examination of each entity is described under field conditions, using a simple light and fluorescein. The attitude of the general practitioner is detailed according to the degree of severity of the affection, while insisting on the clinical situations to refer to a specialist.
