A 32-year-old male presents to A&E with right eye pain and redness, which has developed over the past few hours. He reports being otherwise well; however, on further questioning, he admits he has had pain in his buttocks for the past year, which predominantly occurs in the mornings, and for which he had not sought medical help. On examination, his right eye was erythematous with some tearing and photophobia. A slit lamp examination revealed the presence of white blood cells in the front of the eye.
