North York Emergency Eye Care
Sudden eye pain, a scratch, an infection, or something stuck in your eye should not be ignored. Call our Gordon Baker Road clinic first so we can guide your next step.
When It Cannot Wait
Eye problems can appear without warning. If something feels wrong, call Optima Eye Care at (416) 497-3705. Our North York team will ask about your symptoms and help you understand whether to come in or seek hospital care right away.
Describe what is happening and our team will help you understand the right next step.
We see concerns such as corneal scratches, eye infections, and foreign objects in the eye.
Some urgent eye symptoms point to other health issues. We help you plan follow-up and referrals when needed.
What to Expect
Every urgent concern is different, so the steps can vary. This is a general outline of what to expect.
Phone (416) 497-3705 and describe your symptoms so our team can advise you on the right next step.
When you arrive, tell us how the problem started, what you have tried, and any health conditions or medications.
Your optometrist examines your eye and explains the findings and any recommended care.
Leave with clear instructions, and know when to return or whether a referral is needed.
Know the Signs
Eye pain, a red eye that is getting worse, light sensitivity, discharge, a feeling that something is stuck in your eye, or a sudden change in vision are all reasons to call. If you wear contact lenses, take them out and leave them out until you have been assessed. Try not to rub your eye, as that can make some injuries worse.
Some situations need hospital care right away. For a chemical splash, a penetrating injury, a severe blow to the eye, or sudden vision loss with other stroke-like symptoms, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department. For a chemical splash, rinse your eye with clean water while you get help.
Start with a call so we can guide you.
Close to Home
For many urgent concerns that are not severe injuries, an optometry clinic can be a practical place to start. Our North York clinic is set up to examine the eyes closely, and your optometrist can explain what they find and what care is recommended. If your situation needs a specialist or hospital, we will tell you.
Availability depends on the day, so please call before coming in rather than walking over. When you call, have a short description of your symptoms ready, along with when they began. This helps our team respond quickly and appropriately.

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.

Had a great time. The doctor was fantastic, checked everything and was able to update my prescription. They were very generous to get trial for astigmatism daily contact. Visitors parking in the back. I would highly recommend this location.
