Call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department for a chemical splash, a penetrating injury, a serious blow to the eye, or sudden vision loss with other stroke-like symptoms such as facial drooping, weakness, or trouble speaking. For chemicals in the eye, start rinsing with clean water right away while help is on the way. Do not wait to call our clinic first in these situations.
For other urgent concerns, such as a scratched or irritated eye, a red eye that is getting worse, or something you feel is stuck under your eyelid, call our clinic. Our team will ask about your symptoms and advise you on next steps before you travel from Pleasant View. Availability varies, so a quick call first saves you an uncertain trip.
