Call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department for chemical splashes, penetrating injuries, objects embedded in the eye, or serious trauma to the eye or face. Sudden loss of vision together with stroke-like symptoms, such as facial drooping, arm weakness, or slurred speech, also needs emergency help right away. For chemical exposure, begin rinsing the eye with clean water immediately.
Once you have received emergency care, your optometrist can help with follow-up eye care if needed. Saving our number in your phone means help is easy to reach the next time a concern comes up. For people near Royal Orchard, our clinic is reachable via Bayview Ave and Steeles Ave E.
