For a severe injury, a chemical splash, an object that has penetrated the eye, or sudden vision loss with other stroke-like symptoms, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately. Do not wait to reach the clinic in these situations. For a chemical splash, rinse the eye with clean water while help is on the way.
For other urgent concerns, such as a scratchy feeling after something blew into your eye, new redness with discharge, or a sudden increase in floaters, call us. Our team will ask about your symptoms and help you understand how quickly you should be seen and where.
