After initial stabilization and assessment, what is the most appropriate management step? A. Vascular risk-directed evaluation for retinal ischemia B. Diabetes and blood pressure optimization C. Targeted anti-inflammatory eye therapy when indicated D. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy when infection is likely E. Emergency IOP-lowering protocol Show Answer & Explanation Correct Answer: A Explanation: Vascular risk-directed evaluation for retinal ischemia is preferred because it aligns with guideline-based care priorities, reduces avoidable complications, and supports safe outcomes in Ophthalmology.
