Call Our Team Immediately

If you or a loved one is experiencing an eye emergency, please get in touch with our team immediately.

Please visit your nearest emergency room if the emergency occurs outside our regular office hours.

Visiting Us vs. Visiting an Emergency Room

We recommend calling our team first if your emergency occurs within our regular business hours. In some cases, you may need to wait longer to visit an emergency room, and they may still have to contact an on-call optometrist to assist you.

Calling us directly could help you get faster care for chemical splashes, eye trauma, eye disease emergencies, and small foreign particle embedment.

We recommend going to an emergency room immediately for severe eye injuries like cuts, punctures, and burns.

Types of Eye Emergencies

No matter the type of emergency, we recommend getting in touch with our team immediately.

The best way to protect yourself from eye emergencies is to wear appropriate protective eyewear. We offer a range of safety eyewear, and we’ll be happy to recommend a pair right for your particular needs. Using safety eyewear whenever you’re playing sports, handling dangerous chemicals, or working on a hazardous job site could help prevent eye care emergencies.

Common eye emergencies include:

  • Trauma to the eye
  • Chemical exposure
  • Foreign particle embedment
  • Eye disease emergencies
    • sudden loss of vision, painful or painless
    • eye infections
    • flashes or new floaters in the vision
    • swelling of the tissues on or around the eye

Certain eye diseases like angle-closure glaucoma and wet age-related macular degeneration could lead to emergency symptoms. High myopia can also increase the risk of retinal detachment, another emergency condition.If you have the risk of developing an eye disease and experience sudden vision loss, eye pain, or eye redness, please contact our team immediately.
