I find in my ophthalmology book:

cornea scarring

cornea staining

cornea steepening

cornea swelling

There are plenty more listed, but these are the ones that started with " s " and

ended in " ing. " Hope one of them is what you are hearing.

Eye exam help, please

Can someone with an ophthalmology book or experience help with what s/l

steaming?

CHIEF COMPLAINT: Left eye irritation.

PAST MEDICAL/SURGICAL HISTORY: Significant for right knee surgery and glaucoma.

PHYSICAL EXAM: Vital signs: Temp 99.6, pulse 73, respirations 20, BP 159/98.

General appearance: Well-developed, well-nourished African American male, in no

acute distress. He is alert, interactive, pleasant, cooperative, nontoxic

appearing. Eyes: Right is clear. Left injected. Pupils equal, round, and

reactive. Extraocular movements intact without pain. Anterior chamber is

clear. No _____ (steaming?) of the cornea. No mid-dilated nonreactive pupil

noted. Visual acuity 20/40 left, right bilaterally. Fluorescein stain was

negative for corneal abrasion. Anterior chamber clear.

ASSESSMENT: Left eye irritation with discharge, likely secondary to

conjunctivitis.

He is probably saying " No staining of the cornea. " I realize he says that 2

sentences later, but he also repeated himself on " Anterior chamber is clear. "

Just my guess.
