If a client presents with an eye infection, what is the appropriate course of action?

When a client presents with an eye infection, the appropriate course of action is to refer them to a physician. This is crucial due to the potential health risks associated with eye infections. Continuing the session or attempting to treat the infection with soothing gels or antiseptic wipes does not address the underlying medical issue and can exacerbate the client's condition.

By referring the client to a physician, you ensure they receive the proper medical care needed to diagnose and treat the infection effectively. This approach also aligns with professional standards and ethical practices within the beauty and wellness industry, as it prioritizes the client's health and safety over continuing the service. It's important to recognize that practitioners should never take medical interventions into their own hands when health concerns arise.
