Urgent Eye Concerns Near Bayview Woods–Steeles
A scratched cornea, a painful red eye, or debris you cannot rinse out can be worrying. Residents near Bayview Woods–Steeles can call our clinic for prompt guidance.
When Timing Matters
Some eye problems can worsen if left alone. Dr. Mustafa Rawji and the Optima Eye Care team help patients from Bayview Woods–Steeles with urgent concerns such as corneal scratches, eye infections, and foreign objects in the eye.
Call (416) 497-3705 and describe what happened so we can help you decide on the right next step.
An optometrist can examine the eye in detail to understand the cause of your symptoms.
Sometimes an eye symptom points to a broader health concern, and your optometrist will explain if further care is needed.
What to Expect
Our focus is understanding what is wrong and pointing you to the right care quickly. Here is the general process.
Tell us what happened, how long ago, and whether your vision is affected.
Our team helps you decide whether to visit our clinic or seek hospital emergency care.
At your visit, your optometrist examines the eye and provides or recommends appropriate care.
Leave with clear instructions for home and a plan for any follow-up check.
Common Urgent Concerns
A branch while gardening, a speck of dust on a windy day, or a contact lens that feels wrong can all lead to a sore, watery, or red eye. Our clinic helps with concerns such as corneal scratches, eye infections, and foreign object removal. Call first so our team can understand your symptoms.
Try not to rub your eye, and do not use tweezers or other objects to remove something stuck in it. If you wear contacts, take them out if you can do so easily. Appointment availability changes each day, so calling as soon as symptoms begin gives you the best chance of timely guidance.
Calling ahead helps our team prepare.
When to Go to Hospital
Call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department for severe eye injuries, chemical splashes, injuries where something has penetrated the eye, or sudden vision loss with stroke-like symptoms such as facial drooping, weakness, or slurred speech. These situations need immediate emergency care.
For other urgent concerns, our Gordon Baker Road clinic is reachable from Bayview Woods–Steeles via Steeles Avenue East or Finch Avenue East. If your vision is blurred or your eye is very painful, please ask someone else to drive you.

Dr rawji and patty are great. I’ve been with them for over 10 years. He was concerned of an issue that I was getting and sent me to a specialist. Patty always make sure that I get Stylish classes every couple of years. Their new office is nice and it located close to 404 and 401.
