  1. Discharge from the eye
  2. Scratchy feeling in the eye
  3. Hazy vision
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: D - All of the above

Patients suffering from conjunctivitis will typically complain of discharge from the eye accompanied by a scratchy feeling and hazy vision. The patient may also note that they wake up in the morning with their eyelids crusted shut by dried discharge. Typically, conjunctivitis is not associated with pain so if a patient lists pain as a symptom, it could be a sign of a more serious condition.
