During the pandemic in Scotland, optometrists were asked to train to help administer COVID-19 vaccinations. I volunteered for this training and during one of my vaccination shifts I met a 67-year-old male patient who I noted had significant hyperaemia of his left eye. I mentioned this to him and he stated he did not have a regular optometrist and had started to be bothered slightly by the condition.

Feels well and no past eye history. No allergies. No medication. No relevant family history.
