Call our clinic promptly for eye pain, scratches, redness that does not improve, discharge, light sensitivity, or the feeling of something in your eye. If you wear contact lenses, take them out and keep them out until you have been advised. Prompt attention can help reduce the risk of complications.
Some injuries need hospital care immediately. Call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department for chemical splashes, penetrating injuries, severe blows to the eye, or sudden vision loss with other stroke-like symptoms. Rinse with clean water after a chemical splash while help is arranged.
