We help with corneal scratches, eye infections, foreign objects, and sudden discomfort or redness.
Severe injuries and sudden vision loss with other symptoms need emergency services immediately.
What to Expect
Urgent visits are focused on your symptoms. After you call and our team advises you to come in, here is what usually happens.
Tell your optometrist when the symptoms started, what you were doing, and anything that makes it better or worse.
We measure how well you are seeing so we can compare it with your usual vision.
Your optometrist looks carefully at the affected eye to identify the cause of your symptoms.
Discuss recommended care, warning signs to watch for, and when to return or seek further help.
Know the Difference
Call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department for severe eye injuries, chemical splashes, anything that has pierced the eye, or sudden loss of vision with other stroke-like symptoms such as facial drooping, weakness, or trouble speaking. For a chemical splash, rinse the eye with clean water right away while you get help. These situations should not wait for a clinic appointment.
For other urgent concerns, such as a scratch, a red and painful eye, discharge, light sensitivity, or a speck you cannot rinse out, call our clinic. Our team will ask about your symptoms and help you decide on the right next step. Please do not rub the eye or try to remove an embedded object yourself.
Our team can help you understand your options by phone.

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.
